Farmers will want to take note of some recent changes from the Canadian Grain Commission.
The Canadian Grain Commission has announced changes to ergot tolerance for chickpeas and fababeans.
All grades of chickpeas and fababeans will now have an ergot tolerance of 0.05% as of August 1, 2017.
Ergot does not occur in these crops, but cross-contamination can occur during handling.
Adding a tolerance for ergot of 0.05% is consistent with the other pulses in the Official Grain Grading Guide.
As well, the tolerance for grasshopper and army worm damage in (number)No. 3 Canada Western Red Spring, No. 3 Canada Western Hard White Spring and No. 3 Canada Northern Hard Red wheat will be tightened from 8% to 6%, effective August 1st of next year.
