Cgc samples

What is the Falling Number of those same specs on average? Sev sptd in very small amounts will cause very low falling number. Might be even lower than price spread using falling number scale over grade spread. I really don't know if there is spec's on that comparison of average grade by sptd and sev sptd compared to FN.

One is 300 , one is 295

In my opinion, unless the sprouting is a bit of an anomaly in the feild....if you swathed and tires pushed it to the ground. Or the standing crop is down so bad that some heads are touching the ground , and those spots are severly sprouted....you would think the rest of the feild average could easily absorb those spots.

But if weather conditions were so bad for so long that caused "some" severe sprouting....you could assume there is a degree of sprouting that has taken part in the rest of the feild.....therefore more damage may be present than "meets the eye".

Enter the evil falling number test.

Yes it s the premature sprouting that you can't easily see that is concerning. FN will be decreased but no visual signs. Next issue is on a 7 gram sample out of a truck or bin full unless you get a truely representative sample and maintain representation throughout whole test procedure you may by chance get say 3 kernels into test sample instead of 2 and skew true results. That begs the question of is a remote probe sample the way your elevator takes the sample, the way he divides that sample and divides it again to get the 7 grams for testing accurate enough that you will put your income or at least part of it on the line?
