So for #2, 12.5 pro, FN@350 = $5.24/bushel?

World is temporarily awash in wheat again it sounds like. 👎

I think the grain buyers are making things up to suit the bottom line. Falling numbers are not a grading factor according to the CGC. Seems like they will use visual when it suits them and if that isn’t good for them then they dream up the falling number test or anything else to rack up the discounts. Should be fraud. I hope they get challenged in court on this. The CGC better implement some guidelines and rules that they must follow. Seems everyone is lined up to give us the brown end of the stick. Getting old.

I say falling number is "fn" real.

The problem is there are no values assigned to anything. It's a bit of a free-for-all.

What test value should be assigned to what grade and what's that wheat worth relative to its end use?

I contracted feed wheat for 5 bucks with a drying charge, CGC falling number of "85 seconds".

#2-12Px online quote......$4.66
#3-13Px online quote......$4.61

Yikes.

Explain that.

Edit in........ Better yet, WHAT are end users paying for the different falling number values?
