Plant a seed, Grow a Soybean, Feed a Nation

 

Beechwood Agri Services strives to provide our end users with only the highest quality soybeans. We make every effort possible to ensure this is the norm. That being said, our equipment can only do so much. The best way to get high quality product in the end is to start off with high quality product. Our quality Guidelines for soybeans are as follows:

 

Minimum Canada #2 grade with the following exceptions:




  • Canada #1 grade for colour, free of excessive stain and adhered soil.
  • Maximum moisture of 14.0%.
  • Maximum foreign material of 2%.
  • 99% purity of the crop contracted.
  • Zero contamination with corn, cocklebur, nightshade, giant ragweed, pokeweed, horsenettle berries and other crops.
  • Sclerotia below 0.01 %(sclerotinia white mold).
  • Less than 1% contamination of downy mildew.
  • Zero contamination of genetically enhanced soybeans.
  • Variety cannot be planted into a field that was seeded to Roundup ready soybeans without proper fall tillage.
  • Confirm that the required amount of certified seed, of the contracted variety, planted contracted acreage and have proof of the variety and the amount purchased.
  • Only naturally dry product.
  • Maximum 10% clean out over 12/64 slot screen.
  • To allow Beechwood Agri Services free access to all crops under this Contract , both in the field and after harvest, for examination purposes.
  • To accept weights and grades if delivered to the terminal or weights and grade if delivered to other designated terminals.  In case of a dispute all grades can be re-graded by the Canadian grain commission.


If disputed grade if is upheld by CGC fees are payable by the grower. The driver must make his complaint before unloading so that a sample can be set aside.

There has been many discussions about production cost of soybeans to give the maximum return per acre to a grower on a specific farm.  The chart below demonstrates the comparison of IP soybeans vs. Round-up Ready soybeans.  Please click on the link below to help in the decision of what to grow this coming growing season.  As we all know there are many weeds becoming glyphosate tolerant, which makes IP soybeans an alternative by using conventional herbicides.
