Concordia,Kansas | Ed, I may not agree with you a lot of the time, but this time you are RIGHT. We are not making extra money from cleaning our seed wheat just as much as we have to.
In the last five years I`ve had two incidents of rye in my certified seed wheat. If they are so picky about their quality??? Then this should never happen..... I dumped the wheat at the elevator and rotated the field. Basically The seed producer and the agency that certified it cost me money. First in the cost to walk the fields and pull the rye and secondly in the cost of a substandard product.
I would sooner raise my own seed wheat and do a good job conditioning it as to bet on somebody that I don`t know how they run their program. A lot of seed producers are there for the extra dollar not to produce a quality product. | |
