The Fuz monster is here!

[tweety]

In about 1976, our durum had a bit of ergot. Elevator said it was sample grade-not even marketable. The ergotty kernels were slightly larger and lighter than the good kernels so they cleaned out. Don't remember what grade it made after cleaning but never better than a #3. We then sold the etgot to a drug manufacturer in Winnipeg. That was the last durum we grew. Now I hear from Agrivillers that ergot is not an issue?

Well some agrivillers anyway. Ergot is still a problem, especially if there is lots around. As is fusarium and high alpha amylase (sprouted). All of which could potentially be high this year.
