Subject: RE: I'm not happy about oats.


sewi Our local coop is paying $4.89 a bu for
oats today. Last August they were at $1.40.
Methinks the storare paid.


anyone here getting over US$4.00 for oats. oh well,
guess we're not in SE WI. should be in the freight
business.

Just shipped oats through broker and guess where its going just over the boarder in ND HM me thinks were getting screwed again.

I'm in Ne SK. My oats is going to friggin' Southern Idaho. Robbed. Again.

[sawfly]

i guess they should not have been taken off the board then.
looks like your undercutting each other to make the sale.
i was sure that it didn't work that way

[rbrunel]

And I thought our canadian basis was improving....where is the arbitrage in this situation... there isn't that much freight to get it there..

[macdon02]

$/hundred wt maybe?

Sawfly, who said they were undercutting each other. It's going to two different places.

At least they have the choice of where and whom they wish to sell their oats. I still have some oats and may get more or less than others here. Is that a bad thing? Should we all receive the same low price the CWB offers for wheat and barley? I would rather market my oats on my own and take my lumps instead of being punished by the CWB.
