Has anybody also heard rumor that the ergot level for a #1 is going to be raised to 0.04 for new crop?? Local Pioneer rep said this the other day.

 

[Neil Burg]

What was it before?

 

[wmoebis]

Updated tolerances of 0.04% ergot and 0.04% sclerotinia for all grades except feed in the following classes of Wheat, CW: Red Spring, Hard White Spring, Red Winter, Soft White Spring, Extra Strong, Prairie Spring Red, Prairie Spring White.

Changed From...?
Can't member as my 3 year old used to say.

 

[wmoebis]

#1- .01
#2- .02
#3+4- .04
Cf -.1

Can always count on you for grading stuff!

Thanks!
Better, and simpler.
You're the first one I thought of when I read the title.

 

[wmoebis]

With gravity tables and color sorters I wonder if it they will ever be acknowledged as dockage removal equip or fall under cleaning for grade improvement?

I think most elevators including the ports now have color sorters and bring all ergot to within tolerance.

Agree better and simpler at least for now.

Last years wheat would have all made #1 with the changes Would have saved a bunch on cleaning as well.

what about durum

 

[kirschenman]

Durum went from 0.01 to 0.02

Canadian Grain Commission | New tolerances for ergot, sclerotinia and Fusarium

Durum went from 0.01 to 0.02

Canadian Grain Commission | New tolerances for ergot, sclerotinia and Fusarium

Just confirmed in the link you provided that CPSR #1 WAS .03% and #2 CPSR WAS .06% . So it looks like now it is .04% for #1 ??

Figures!

Wouldn't you know it, standards eased and ergot pretty well a non-event here this year.

#4 CWRS was implemented basically to move low falling #3 Cwrs through the system. Wheat that had good milling with similar qualities as #3 but had more sprouting.

This year may be just that kind of year but also #4 was dropped this year. I bet the sprad between feed and #3cwrs will be wider this year.

I was only referring to ergot, good point on the rest wm.

No ergot this year down here, just everything else
