    no open way now to forward contract against falls in low quality grainprices--happy that my multigrades went to low grade.

    noodle wheat in my part of vic tends to be the old 'rosella' variety. outclassed in all trials by pvr varieties,but rosella is free traded and well thought of for toughness and resiliance--in perfect conditions it underperforms,but none of the new pvr varieties seem to last more than a couple of seasons or so,and seem to get found out in tough seasons.

    widespread staining in barley makes malting grade look like only a dream.

    hindmarsh variety being taken as 'hindmarsh food grade' if it makes malting specs,although not a malt variety.

    big money to be made by the 'grain pirates' that run victorias grain standards now the statutary authorities have been destroyed.

    milling oats cliff facing is ten dollars for each 2 percent drop off in test weight until a 48 kgh has no market.a 53 kilogram a hectalitre oat can be blended with a 48 kgh oat and the dodgy sample although having a large co-efficient of variation within the sample,and not milling as well as a genuine milling sample makes a lot of money for the blender.
