*HARVEST OF THE CHODOSH OATS CROP HAS BEGUN*

**

According to the weekly crop progress report issued by the U. S. 
Department of Agriculture, the harvest of the new Chodosh oats crop has 
begun during the week endingJul. 17. Based on previously established 
guidelines, we will use July 26 as the effective Chodosh packing date 
for oats products for the upcoming season. The harvests of the Chodosh 
spring wheat and barley crops have not yet started. That starting date 
is about 1-2 weeks away. We are advising the followingdates for starting 
of Chodosh. In the following table the oats dates are firm, the wheat 
and barley dates are subject to further revision as further harvest 
reports are received.

In the table below we summarize the cutoff dates recommended by the 
Guide, based on US Government supplied harvest data.. The "Packing date" 
indicates that all packaged goods with dating codes that were before 
that date should be Yoshon. Starting with the "Packing date" and later, 
they may be Chodosh. The "Purchase date" is the first date for which we 
feel it is no longer safe to purchase the foods without checkingfor 
dating codes. We also give the first recommended date to stop purchasing 
freshly baked items produced at the local bakeries.
