CGC Reclassify 29 Wheat Varieities. I smell a rat!

I wonder if flour millers want to use LESS Canadian wheat to blend up their junk wheat so it still makes bread. So they complain about "inferior wheat" and this is the result.
Customer is always right?

There isn't an elevator in western canada that can segregate all these classes. And done may not want to deal in them - then what - truck it a little furthur? Or switch to that new grainco approved variety?

What is wrong with you for cheerleading things like this. I get its good for seed sales but you realize the world came to canada for wheat like Columbus years ago for its milling qualities.

I would like to know what the parameters were to lower some of these varieties.

Bucket,

Not ALL elevators need to accept all classes and grades and types of grain. Does not happen now.

There are public varieties like CDC Go that have very high gluten strength... so be it... this is NOT about seed sales except in your imagination.

SF3, when I started farming (1978) grew Neepawa, Columbus, Ketepwa. One replaced the other as the next big thing. I wonder if those varieties would yield 80 bushel/acre guys are pulling off this year with Carberry, AC459, and CL859? One are farmer reporting 100 bpa from Harvest (also a low gluten CWRS).

Russian wheat is undercutting other countries offers. What's it like to be a farmer there with those returns? Maybe those guys should find AgriVille so they can complain with like minded comrades.

BTW, how do you know Canadian wheat is being used to upgrade Baltic wheats? That was an old wheat board tale. Our CWRS from this region goes mostly to US mills, not overseas.

You sacrificed yourself in the shitshow. Your trucks and men could have moved your wheat to the US or AB while you were at the Hawaii condo. Did you give them the winter off?

I believe Foremost a CPS variety which is very popular in my area is being reclassified. It does seem a bit odd bring in a new seed act and then reclassify so many varieties of wheat. I would say we are being f#*ked over!

Brave your so full of shit your not even funny.
Explain how If I had contracted grain with one company for a certain amount of Money then couldn't deliver so had to wait and wait and wait. This same grain I could have loaded up and taken to the USA for less money plus trucking etc.
Get a life you have no Idea what happened two years ago out here.

[SASKFARMER3]

I think I'm right on this one a big fat RAT is running the show.
Follow the Money on who is for and who doesn't like!

Canada exported as much wheat as the US last year if you include durum. Only the European Union exported more.
But the importing countries really didn't like Canadian wheat?????

I'm surprised goodeve is not on that list. The Mills I work with were never fond of it. Love utmost though.

What are we going to gain by reclassification?
How many guys have wheat they can't sell because of poor gluten strength/baking quality? Other factors yes.
Is the price going to reflect better quality?
If you grow one of the reclassified wheats where will the market be, at what price? Will the new class be priced at same as USA DNR same as now?
