Subject: RE: light beans


I think it should affect stocks at the end of the year at least.
For 2 reasons.
1. Lots of folks do not have scales. IF I am estimating yields, I go by volume. So far this year my beans have ran from 52 to 59 test weight.
While the test weight does not cause an increase or decrease in the actual yield, it does affect the perceived yield, if stating yield based on volume.
2. My understanding is the lighter beans likely have less oil in them, than denser beans.
Lower oil percentage means it takes more beans to make a gallon of oil.
Whether the government acknowledges the difference is unknown.
