The new falling number grading is only being used to reduce what they are paying you. If the falling number is good they use other factors to downgrade the wheat to pay less. When falling numbers are low they are using them to pay you even less even if it is feed. Not quite sure how the pigs can tell if they are eating lower falling number wheat. You now deliver your wheat and a sample is kept, if falling number comes back lower than expected on average sample you will be in deep trouble and could be liable for the whole train.

I just have to ask. Are the Grain companies playing games with wheat?

We sent out 7 B-train loads of feedwheat. Kept a very good representative sample of each load....probably more accurate than any load probed sample they would take.
I may be a bit of a c unt but most know I stand up for myself and don't like being fùcked with.

Severe sprouts limit.....
#1--------0.1%
#2--------0.2%
#3--------0.3%
Total sprouts
#1--------0.5%
#2--------1.0%
#3--------3.0%
At .3% severe for a three.....how much would it actually take to push it into feed?

I'm tired of lecturing on subjective versus objective grading......and how an accurate repeatable results test would be better than biased visual grading.
That being said , tolerances need to be established and assigned to grades. Or prices reflective of the quality of end use specs for lower than ideal falling numbers.
Ya ya I know....just another weapon in the assault arsenal of grading demerits.

but they got away with it when they were buying "feed" barley that had to have good germ ,(pigs prefer high germ barley, lol) so why not see if it will work in wheat also
