What's your falling number for your wheat? Big degrading factor this year.

[stonepicker]

Falling number a degrading factor? I've never had that happen. What the heck kind of wht. are you growing? Marquis ? I've never asked and i've never been told i have a low falling number. Your kidding right? It is almost april fool's day.

Falling numbers are definely a factor this year here in SW Manitoba. Below 300 is not finding a market as easily as more sound wheat. Bids are also affected by the falling numbers.

[stonepicker]

I guess mine is high then.

[farmaholic]

Stonepicker. Low falling numbers are an indication of enzyme activity that occurs when the kernels begin(or have) germinated(sprouted). Results from wet/damp harvest weather.

Can someone give a more technical explanation?

Is it still possible to have high protien and a low falling number at the same time or is the protien converted to starch by the enzymes that result in
the low falling number, thereby reducing then protien as well?

[Braveheart]

Farmaholic, good explanation. I believe protein should be unaffected in low falling number wheat.

Wakopa, your target that was hit, was that futures only? How far out? Deferred to 2016?

I am 5 foot nine and would like to hang in a 18 foot high roof. Please use politicians math when calculating the length of the rope.

There is a better chance of survival! !!

Too funny. I crack myself up some days!

[Braveheart]

Well Bucket, isn't politicians' math "too little too late"? Not a good recipe for length of a noose. Lol.

[stonepicker]

Good one bucket! lol. There will have to be a study done on it first before anything can be answered.

Good morning, some of my wheat was lower on falling number and some was higher, the wheat went on different train depending on falling but did not get discounted, I did futures for march 2016 and dec 2016, basis comes off yep , last year did it at 6 dollars ,
