CHODOSH UPDATES AS OF 19 AUG 00
The big surprise this year is that due to a reduced oats harvest in the
USA, many major cereal producers have switched to using Canadian Oats as a
result, the oats Chodosh dates for this companies start October or later.
The following oats dates are known already:
Ralston, National, Shoprite-Jan 1
ConAgra, Grand Union, Pathmark-Oct 15
Quaker and General Mills I hope to find out this coming week.
For freshly baked bakery products in the Midwest such as Chicago, Detroit
and Cleveland. Some mills supplying this area already started producing
Chodosh on Aug 14. Some will be as late as Sept 7. I have no information
yet regarding mills in other parts of the country. Similarly, I have no
information yet on barley.
The Guide to Chodosh is now scheduled for publication (bli neder) about the
third week of September. Updates until then will be publicized via E mail
and the Hot Line News voice recording at 845-356-5743.
