The Canadian Grain Commission is asking the wheat industry whether it wants to add falling numbers and DON content to grading standards.
Both have become increasingly important in wheat marketing and making them part of the grading system would result in better pricing information.
Because falling numbers would be more precise, the commission is asking whether “sprouting” or “severe sprouting” could be removed from the grading standards.
The commission is asking for comments before the end of May.
The discussion paper is posted on the commission's website.
