Vomitoxin/DON testing. (Do not read this if you are offended by profanity)

You are absolutely right. Vomi is a health safety issue. Mills and bakeries operate under health CFIA rules and wven in USA are limited on amount of Vomi that can be processed into food for human or anal consumption.

Whoa that escalated!! 😂

Well at least you're still capable of sitting upright and whining like a little bitch

OUCH!!

Whoa that escalated!! 😂

You caught that too?!

[farmaholic]

OUCH!!

If I can't take any criticism I shouldn't be posting my thoughts on an open internet forum.

Let it rip. My skin is pretty thick.

[stonepicker]

Lol, ok famaholic, how come people like you constantly hav trouble dealing with grain terminals? Maybe you don't understand the grading system? Maybe your abrasive? people are human, would you wanna deal with yourself? Do you forget when fusarium first became a problem? The --- said there was no market for it. Farmers and grain co's had to find their own markets. Yep your whining like a little bitch! lol

Stoney...I sell all my grain every year....to various buyers. No problem!

I just lost a long response to posters because of a "smart"phone issue and don't want to retype all my scattered thoughts.

If one more person now knows that Vomi/DON levels aren't part of the CGC grain grading guide but a push from end use customers then the thread was successful...and we really don't know what they'll accept....sell direct?

And if informing ones self isn't for everyone...so be it. Take everyone's word at face value. I for one, don't want to be an easy target. I enjoy knowing my customers know I have a level of knowledge about the product I produce.

Maybe what the cgc needs is some compliance officer with teeth?

So are you upset with the CGC for not having amounts of vomi for grades in the guide? Or are you upset with the middlemen like mills, etc that follow CFIA guidelines about vomi levels?

You kind of sound like the beef producers who are mad people don't want their implanted and antibiotic fed animals from feedlots. But that is supply and demand, as producers we supply the consumers what they want, even if we don't necessarily agree with it.

I understand fus is harder to control than giving animals crud, but if it's not fus it's ergot or sclerotinia or a treated seed or a bug in your truck load. Or a new spray that Japan or China decide they don't want. If the buyers don't want it then they aren't going to buy it which makes the product next to worthless. Can't get mad at the CGC or elevators for not wanting a worthless product.
