Wheat grading

[helmach]

True, that’s why P&H , who sends a lot of wheat to its mills east , offered a slight premium , for all of it , cause there is no frost in it , even remotely.
Will hopefully see if any better offers come around from the other two locations today .
Not sure if holding good wheat this winter will pay or not , or take a decent offer now and replace with paper in case of a winter rally ?

p&h is by far the hardest graders in our area... a thought shared by many as it shows with hardly any traffic rolling or business at its pits.

They can be yup.
That’s what’s interesting here . It’s good wheat and they know it .
The other elevator needs a refresher at a grading course .

I have Viterra calling my durum a 3 and a 4. Cargill is buying it all for a 2.

Did you see any heat stress or frost damage in the sample?

The two look almost identical. Have seen it called 'environmental stress' in the past to encompass that it could be either. That could be the disconnect furrow.

Let’s call it the all all encompassing “climate change stress” instead

Yes my question was if Furrow saw the damage and where he thought it compared to guides?I have also seen elevator standards get very distorted from contamination and then elevators are grading harder or softer. Know your grain.

Yup like I said there is a bit of heat stress , zero frost , cause that’s impossible
I know my grain, it’s our livelihood

Know your grain was just a slogan one of the producer groups use to get farmers to attend grading seminars etc.

I was just wondering if heat stress was as bad as what shows in guides? And if you thought it was as bad or not. They can't grade it a lower grade just because they want to.

There is some slight heat stress in some of it
P&H had zero concerns with it

walter and blaithin must be liberals !

Oh goodness! That's a terrible insult.

Let’s put a thesis together about how someone grades grain being an indication for their political leanings.

Sounds plausible….

[zeefarmer]

What was the degrading factors? Did they all handle samples in the proper manor? If one is getting high degrading factor someone isn't doing it right. You have to watch to see what they do. Just like a teller counting your change or counting your cash.

Damage was the main degrading factor. Not mechanical, it was from the lentils frying in the 38C temps. The damaged ones looked like you had swathed or sprayed glyphosate way too early.

Not sure what the post you are replying to was suppose to mean but I was only trying to help others who may not understand quality assessment and bring out the possible reasons for multiple grades. If trying to help others is considered a Liberal I guess I fit in.

Wiseguy must have been having a bad night. He did a number of posts that he deleted after. The one I was replying too you can see Seldomseen quoting.

Heat stress blaithin ??

What about it?

I don't make the Grain Grading Guide or determine which factors I'm supposed to look for and how they're reflected in grades. I just look for them based on the guide's protocols and descriptions.

If you have an issue with factors used for grading, take it up with the CGC and the markets the grain is being sold in to, not the graders.

Saying a grader shouldn't be calling something heat stress after 6 years of drought would be like getting mad at them for low protein in a wet year. It's a wet year don't you know, so of course my protein is low, as a grader you should just give me higher protein.
