mennoboy - 1/5/2016 20:13 This idea of lower dockage always confuses me. Does it really matter to a farmer if their combine gives them 1% dockage or 2% dockage. Its looks only. Both samples get paid for the same amount of clean bushels. Unless your dockage is cracked grain from the combine that is contributing to dockage. In our wheat dockage can make a huge dent in the bottomline. Not only are you docked pounds but also cents per bushel that keeps increasing for anything over .2% dockage which isn't much. 1% dock would be $.10 per bushel discount to the clean weight while 2% would be $.23 per bushel discount to the clean weight so yes dockage really can matter. http://www.whitgro.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/WhitgroDiscountSchedule.pdf for a discount schedule for wheat in our area. |
