With the new classes of wheat. ..

[bucket]

How will the new classes be priced and segregated at the elevator?

I was thinking if I grew Lillian because sawfly was becoming a problem and I tested it for falling number and it met or exceeded the minimum CWRS class specs..... does it really matter which class it is in?

Unless these varieties had notoriously low falling numbers.

Pricing for CNHR looks like about 10% less than CWRS.
Export shipments of #2 CWRS can have a working tolerance of up to 5.4% of wheat of other classes that will blend. So as long as the CNHR(the old CWRS varieties anyway) wouldn't throw the CWRS out of spec for gluten strength it will likely get blended into the ship and sent on its way for a tidy profit.

Our current system isn't set up to segregate more classes of wheat.....it's a bulk system....who thinks this shit up..?

The people left on their own to screw us think this up!!!!
It's only human nature if there isn't any checks and bounds why wouldn't they unless of course they had some integrity.

If I were to grow CNHR Lillian because of agronomic benefits and I tested it and it met or exceeded the minimum standards for the CWRS class. Then made my buyers aware......that isn't integrity? I just wish they treated me the same.

How much CWRW, at lower value, do you think is blended into CWRS at the terminals? Expect CNHR to be treated the same!

And bucket is absolutely right....its a bulk handling system....how many different bins of different classes and grades within those classes can they store seperate?

If it turns out there isn't much CNHR in an elevator's gathering area they likely wouldn't start a bin.
If specs are good millers might be the best option.

Mills are being picky on it mostly due to low gluten strength in CHNR.

It'll likely be all treated as a seperate product until it hits the port terminals. Then either shipped as a "other grade" or blended off into something else.

Same thing happens with winter wheat.

Never seem one of those gluten testing machines at the elevator. ...

Don't remember anyone worrying about gluten when developing new varieties.....


And I thought low gluten wheat should command a premium.....


For humour only....but it's worth thinking about

we have 6 grades at our local elevator and often depends how harvest starts new segregations not available may be started. high protein high sceenings for instance.

basically 4 milling grades hard1 hard2 apw and asw there all protein determined and minimumtest weight and screenings.

then agp Australian general purpose and feed1

at port there are the full 9 grades
