Is the durum a dud too?!?

Oh **** they screw guys all he time. Pick pick pick and oh look it's a shitty grade..

I did a bushel weight test on the spring wheat we're harvesting at the moment.

381.5 grams/.5 liter

62.7 lbs/bu

picked the white caps out, blew out the chaff, not run through a dockage machine.

Used the proper funnel and method to level in the measuring cup.

Not bad considering some durum is supposedly downgraded on account of light weight.

well, there's no fuz to speak of, ergot doesn't work anymore ??? ........
why can't anyone tell me why ergot at microscopic amounts isn't deadly anymore ?
because that cost us a shitload of money the last 10-15 years until fuz showed up ????
would really like that one explained to me ?

Im glad for you farma. My hrsw is a week or so away letting mother nature descicate it. Hand shelled some dough stage durum finding some half rotten kernels. Looks like fuzz sort of but no pink and just the odd kernel here and there. I scouted its ass off for midge from boot through flower nothing. Durum varieties these days are so pathetic. Anyone have any kyle seed they'll sell me?

caseih, how are those peas filling? That pic last week was a helleva stand. Will they go down for harvest, or are they too thick and remain standing? Guys are mostly done their peas down here, cut the highest and left the most standing pea stubble in the last ten years. Ran 35-45. Easy combining when your not cutting on the ground. Good luck with them, looks like an awesome crop.

biglentil, I'm finding some of those same seeds, thinking they might turn into a black point or something like that. We're not really short of moisture that they're thin kernels, so not sure.

Guess what Dylan!!!! Somebody called and asked if I still had my last year's durum and made me a half decent offer. God I must be a knob and hard to deal with!

Right now harvesting the current crop is priority. ..my simple mind only allows me to do one task at a time. That's why I'm a STO (SMALL TIME OPERATOR).

OK, don't forget to breathe farma

For someone who regularly states they have thick skin, sure seems easy to get under yours. I never said you were knob. But even knobs and difficult people can find places to do business when they have something That buyers want.
Good luck with the rest of your harvest farma. I'm happy you found a market for your durum.
