If you are picking out an idiot in a crowd that got us to this point....look for the guy that just retired.....

One pail of wheat the neighbor had ranged from 13.6-15.3

What are the solutions?

What are the solutions?

.....third party grading. KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE!!! Relying on the party whose buying your product to tell you what it is never sat well with me. Not saying you can't get a good deal from them, its just kinda a weird thing to do. It would be like going to a restaurant and telling them what you are going to pay for the meal based on how good you thought it was!

Will protein discounts and premiums increments equal each other?

I am not picking sides at all but what if this was the scenerio. You take the wheat to the 3rd party amd they say 13.8px for example. Then you all to the elevator and they get 14.5px. Are you going to say, woah its only 13.8 so your machine is out. I should only be paid on 13.8 as per 3rd party sample. Could happen and I bet you would not say a thing. Just one side to the argument.

well that's not what I was getting at at all . guy who checked my wheat is a straight shooter . it is low px , surprising on a dry year

4G.... as I said, not saying you can't get a good deal from them compared to the third party grade. Although I would think the px machines should all be within an acceptable range.

This year should be easier to both buy and sell grain! I doubt the graders, merchants and grain reps like dealing with poorer quality grain any more than the producers who grew it!

Grain terminal staffing could be reduced by 30% if a simplified grading system was in place.
Protein
Moisture
Falling number

Etc

They are supposed to be calibrated to CGC problem is no one is monitoring.
Secondly human error is rampant should have a pronter on them for a paper trail.
IE Machine is set on wrong product. Read the moist instead of PX. Someone couldn't read others scribble on piece of scrap paper so guessed when entering.
Oh but for $50 CGC will do it for you.

Perhaps a printed ticket, scale weights etc
40 % fewer staff
