CWAD Grades

[RedLentil]

Hello Agriville,

I have been reading Agriville Threads for a while now and finally decided to join.

I know CWAD grades this year are less than desirable but how bad are they, is anyone seeing samples of #5 or Commercial Salvage? If so what is the main reason for the poor grades? Fusarium being the most obvious.

Thanks

Yup commercial salvage my whole durum crop.

Great color once you pick out the shit.

1.51 a bushel on Wednesday. ...66 cents a bushel on Friday.

Who is buying this stuff and what do they do with it?

[farmaholic]

Probably blended or cleaned up to a three.....

Bucket, can it be colour sorted to remove the tombstone kernels?

The vomi levels are most important over the Fuz kernals. Even if you remove the tombstone kernals the vomi levels might be too high for human or animal consumption. Would you eat grain that has poison levels that are too high? Why should we expect the grain companies to buy grain that they cannot sell to anyone else. Thats why the price is so low....

The spread to better grades isn't there to try upgrading.

On American side they just look at a beautiful Cdn. sample and sY, " hm, high vomitoxin".

If I can clean your #5, Commercial salvage, and feed durum into 1s and 2s.... What would you pay me? SuperB load every 12 hours.


I'm not kidding. I'm serious....

Are you cleaning out fusarium kernels?

[bucket]

I will sell it to you for 5.50 a bushel picked up ....cash.

What percent good stuff is typically cleaned out Klause, getting say 4% down to just under 2% for a #3.or even to less than 1% I have 175,000bu.that will be roughly 4%. 75% of that is off. Good color and grading factors other than fuzz. Is it a portable unit?

[bgmb]

with that kind of volume you might want to look for a portable seed cleaner, Color sorters are not great in wheat from what i have seen and a sorter would definitely need to be used in conjunction with other machines.

.5 percent is the limit for 1 and 2 cwad.

Pretty tough to go from commercial salvage to a 1/2cwad.

No.. talking 5-in-1 followed by a bomill.


We've taken some samples of absolute crap to a lab setup one.

Commercial salvage. Fusarium screenings from a seed cleaner... It's amazing what they can pull out.

No false positives, and you get 100% of fuz, even sort piebald from regular durum kernels.


They aren't super-fast... But a guy only needs to sort say 1/3rd of the crop... and then you have blending power... Especially a year like this year #1 durum will be worth a premium for blending to elevators.

Thing is we would need $2/bu to run wheat through it to make it pay...

Have a friend who would partner in setting up a mobile unit.
