With the new classes of wheat. ..

[fjlip]

CGC lowered tolerances for GRASSHOPPER damage...must have heard it's dry some places...just to hurt you more!

This is a stupid system of having a 100 different classes for wheat. All this is for is keep bureaucrats employed at CGC and plant breeders etc. Most bread in the world is made from US hard red winter and most of it ends up on the same pile. We could do the same thing except when the millers want something specific they can IP if and use container shipping. The US wheat grower does not invest in tin cans all over the country side. They haul is most at harvest and keep some on farm storage. The amount spent on storage and segregation is enormous and just a loss of efficiency.

Would it make any dif it we only had 1 class and 1 grade? Ritz still gave elevators 3 months to take delivery before any penalties kick in and left it up to farmers to negotiate with multi national company on what that penalty would be.

........more crazy talk. Careful wmoebis, you will get labelled a whiner and complainer!

By the way, where is Gerry Ditz now anyway?

.....they get 90 days of free storage of your high priced grain, then when the prices of grain drop they can buy that cheap grain instead of taking delivery of your expensive grain. "Inventory and price management".

I wonder if there will be any delayed deliveries of earlier(summer) contracted grain this fall in lieu of cheaper uncontracted harvest time grain! .....NAH!!!!!!
