Some recent seed cleaning jobs

rockyridgefarm · Aug 27, 2023

Been pretty busy with cleaning, the heat last week, and the county fair two weeks ago. Here are some pics of recent cleaning jobs. I ticked over 30,000 bu for the year with a trip out to Dike IA yesterday. I am going to Faribault MN tomorrow, barring rain.

What kind of seed are you cleaning, wheat rye, oats? Nearly all soybeans are now GMO and you can't
legally save the seed.

I have never cleaned soybeans before, but it can legally be done. There is still plenty of non-gmo grown, but also if someone saved their RR1 seed, that is off-patent. Since I do not clean GMO seed, I do not have to worry about it. I have no long thought I should have a lawyer draft a statement that customers would sign that says that the seed I am cleaning has no replant restrictions. Better do it this year.

Don't worry about rain. I am 50 miles from
Faribault and it just never rains in this
part of the country anymore.

It does when I have my cleaner on the road

Neat to see your cleaning system.May not
hurt to have a legal form to have signed.
But the farmer is the person to be held
liable. You are only cleaning grain not
bagging it.

how does one destroy for good the weed seed cleaned out? Feeding it or using it as bedding would just be another way of spreading back on the field wouldn't it?

Depending on where you will be in relation to Faribault, I could be about 20 miles from where you will be working. Email is open if you would like a YT'er to stop by. But you probably don't have time for visitors, even for a few minutes.

Composting?

You can stop in. I will be there about 5 hours starting at 9. Ring the number on the back of the machine.

It is not significant. This reminds me of the suburban myth of buying "weed seed free" straw for use as mulch. As if the soil that it is going over didn't already have 25 weed seeds per square inch ready to germinate and shoot up.
