Are the prices the average of all grades or grade specific? Didn't think there was that much quality durum available to average up to the current year prices...?

The trade database is the total amount of sales for all grades.
It doesn't match up exactly with the CGC monthly sales report, but for February the CGC says that exports of durum were:
4.2 percent #1
2.6 percent #2
70.6 percent #3
22.6 percent #4

Hmmm, quite a spread from farmgate.

Anyone go direct into the U.S.?

I intended to but my vomi was kinda high.

A Montana grain co said they weren't even interested at 5%, other specs were actually quite good. Good HVK, about 15%px, really dry, about 370 falling number. Had some frost and other "visual" issues. I was hoping to do better but considering it was commercial salvage to start with I thought I did ok.
