Had some wheat treated today.

Only trouble was we thought we had 170 tonnes to go at, but the lorry only 'measured' 130 tonnes.

If we did indeed have 170 tonnes but only used 130 tonnes of product, what would be the consequences of this?

I'm guessing lower protein for a start, but would the preservation of the wheat be OK?

Fortunately it was dryish at 16%, so I'm hoping it will be OK?

 

[davidroberts30]

be fine just lower protein

 

[davidroberts30]

where does the discrepancy come from?

I think their processing lorry is out to be honest although I would think their equipment ought to be pretty reliable.

Obviously they didn't like to hear it, but it usually does 40 tonnes an hour and we kept him going the whole time and took them 4.5 hours to mill.

Combine reckoned 176 tonnes in total.

Could ask to see when it was calibrated last....

Keep quiet your paying per tn

I know that was my first reaction but then realised I've got lower protein feed now

 

[davidroberts30]

Buy some sweeties with what you saved

Just add the urea when you feed it out

Or get tele handler and mix extase urea in now.

I had some barley done last year and thought the lorry underestimated the tonnage, all worked out ok. To be honest since I have no means of drying or milling, the process was ideal.
Harbro will do a before and after protein analysis for you as part of the job. Did mine and it worked well, I’m a bit of a cynic so had the processed barley checked elsewhere and it was similar.

I would keep checking it to see if it is storing ok. My cousin used this product and it didnt turn out very well.Went mouldy and alot of waste food.

maxxamon wont help it store much better

It’s not likely to go mouldy if it was 16% moisture, even if it hadn’t been treated.

Why not? Supposed to be able to treat & store grain at up to 25% with urea treatment. I’ve never done it that damp, but certainly 18% stored ok, treated with H&D.

i got that a bit wrong
it will help store grain but not if the grain has started heating it wont help to cool it down

Treated whole wheat grain with urea 5 or 6 years ago found two sealed buckets last winter the amonia nealyrics blow you head off fed it to some sheep still in Exelent condition the wheat.

Our maxammon analysis came back today if it’s of any interest to anyone.

What was the analysis pre treatment ??

When they first started selling it the recommendation was you could start at 30%!!!
