How does falling number affect price? How about color and other factors?

[farmaholic]

Our falling number standard is about 350(isn't it?) So 188 is pretty grim.
Makes ourLOW Px wheat at 13.0-13.5 worth even more!

Look at how they grade its a F1 with 11.7 protein.

So is that a feed #1 or just a grade 1.

Barley?

A google search says Barley.

Just trying to understand how countries that don't have the same grading system as us adjust price for factors that affect quality.

In Canada to have a FN that low it would have to be sprouted and severly sprouted and would be graded and priced according.

Very interesting to see the load inspection specs.

I thinks that’s what Mallee is showing us, the low falling number (internal enzyme change) doesn’t always have to have a 1 inch sprout on it

[Rareearth]

The issue here has always been it takes too long and it’s costly for falling number testing.

How long does it take from unload to receive the load results?
They are testing for roundup(glyphosate), is it test strips under what ppm? what happens if they dump it on top of other non-glyphosate grain?

[Rareearth]

One more.

Is the grading all done by machine, with a digital numerical number printed, no human “interpretation”hand written or data entering with key boards?

I here many receiving terminals ask the employees to “add in” dockage, miscalibrate protein etc. This it theft, fraud, etc

[farming101]

Maybe 60 dollar/tonne discount?
Not even going to make the "pass with a push" malt grade

Prospects for more Canadian malt exports?

That sample has a snails in it so no wonder we can't compete in the world market. Must help out protein levels. From now I'm throwing a few snails in each load!

I googled it and seriously a couple varieties of snails are a grain pest in parts of Australia. Doesn't sound like they are native. I'm sure they aren't much fun to deal with either.
