The first traces of the start of the Chodosh oats harvest have been issued
by the US Dep't of Agriculture. My early estimate is that the oats could be
a problem of Chodosh as early as the packing date of Jul 26, wheat as early
as Aug 9 (these were the dates last year). When final dates are determi
utoff dates would be about 7-10 days after the confirmed start of the
first harvests. When more information becomes available, I hope to, bli
