When the grain company does not take the specialty canola on time

[Hopperbin]

Just wondering what others thoughts are or what they would do when the grain company does not take the special canola on time. Last contract month June they took in July and did not even offer to give me the July basis, couple dollars more per ton. Now I have July del. and Sept till 15th del. which will obviously both not be picked up by the 15th. Not even a phone call to pick up. The sept. delivery is a much higher basis than the July so I am going to ask for sept. basis for the July and then ask for another 20 per ton. If they don't co operate I will deliver it as regular canola. I don't like to be bent over.

Would this happen to be Richardson? Here they're now taking July delivery Nexera... and nothing else. I've been trying to get normal canola into them but ugggg nothing till at least Friday.

Clavet was still taking Jan specialty in Apr. seems to be generally same crap all over. My Dec oats went in Feb. Contracts are for just a** wipe.

The fine print states they have 3 additional months to take delivery. And try fighting them on it, you won't win. At least I didn't.

I quit growing that nexera for that very reason, when they don't want it they try the green count thing, and excuse after excuse. I am surprised those programs still go on. If you get a decent year they pencil out good but varieties at least here very late and bugs just love that "healthy" canola for some reason.

Even if we produce 10mmt this year,I'm thinking that is to much production from a producer point of view. What would it be like if we actually produced 15mmt. btw which could be as soon as 2011.

Maybe the rain and snow will solve that dilema for us! LOL

I also quit growing it for the same reasons .Cargill was
no better.

Why grow the stuff? Almost everyone complains about the results and delivery. Grow canola for cash flow and keep all options open. Are there going to be penalties if you can't get this years production off? - better ask.

Don't operate as if you are victims.

Scan the deficient contract onto your computer. Make revisions you consider would make it workable.

Post it on AV.

Continuse to make revisions online.

Run off a copy. Each producer can then take the contract to the company and say, "it's revised. This is what I need to make it work. Take it or leave it."
That's my idea of negotiation. Pars
