Alert from the Guide to Chodosh

[Y. Herman]

CHODOSH BULLETIN AS OF 12 Jul 06



I received email from the US Department of Agriculture that signals the 
official start of the new Chodosh season. Namely, the harvest of the 
Chodosh oats has begun last week, the week ending Jul 9. By that time, 11% 
of the new crop has been harvested. I expect to see first traces of this 
Chodosh oats in products manufactured around Jul 23 or later. I urge all to 
start storing up oats products of interest soon. However, whenever worm 
contamination is possible, such items should be stored in worm-secure 
locations such as refrigerators or freezers. This year the Guide to Chodosh 
will no longer be able to advise later Chodosh cutoff dates for General 
Mills cereals such as Cheerios, or for Quaker oats cereals. These should 
also be stored up soon.

The US Dept of Agriculture has not yet reported the start of the harvest of 
Chodosh wheat and barley. However, I expect those to start about 1-2 weeks 
later than the oats.
