I have seen WHT sample taken by elevator that, when the farmer came back to dispute, the sample matching sample # was pulled from back room, It was barley not even WHT. Not even the same kind of grain never mind another class or variety of WHT.

The way it is set up right now by this gov't is that it is the farmers responsibility, even after the elevator has full control of your sample. You are suppose to agree on the sample and there is no way of you or the elevator guaranteeing that the sample holds it's integrity.

The CGC won't even use a probe sampler themselves to take an official sample yet we are expected to accept a probe sample that the elevator staff takes, stores and in some cases won't even let us look at.

wannabefarmer,

I agree with the 'Contamination issue"

I told my elevator folks they needed to hand sample each load... if they were serious about this...and give me a subsample to keep... of each Canola load.

Clever is commonly also Accord... and cross contamination is a real and possible issue. Accord/Clever has been used in Liberty for decades... not to mention cereals... if checking for parts per billion... then who knows what might be a problem!!!

We are going to have the same or even bigger issue when we start paying royalties under UPOV91. But I am sure Ritz has this all figured out to protect producers.

AgCanada under NDP or Liberal government is likely to be less concerned about producers in favour of consumers and envirionmmentalists.
