Like I said in another trend. If inland terminals were forces to be lisenced as terminals (like they tout themselves to be) and operate as such. They would have to return all profits from blending back to us and to the CWB. This is a CGC issue and should be aproached by everyone to have it changed. The liscences have not kept up with the changed system.

When farmers owned the grain companies the profits from blending and cleaning etc. were shared by farmers (the share holders). Now that profit is retained by corp. So we have to look out for ourselves. Knowing your own quality and how to asses it is way more important now. Grain companies are very good at their job which is making the company money.

One of the better investments you could make is to learn how to asses what you have produced and have for sale. This is not only board grains but all commodities.

It is a lot nicer and more professional if you can tell your perspective buyer what you have for sale, rather than have him tell you what he thinks you have. He maybe right or wrong hoe do you know? Negotiations work better if you both can asses the quality of YOUR production then come to an agreement if he will buy it for what YOU want.

Nobody knows what I have produced and have for sale, better than me and that is how I like it.

Why did I post the last one to show the CWB supporters that their is the price at every elevator in SD and what HRS wheat is worth. Basically you could lock in 7.33 and deliver Dec 25% Jan 25% Feb 25% and March 25%. Will your beloved CWB get you 7.33 in your pocket. Yea with 2 dollar initial they need to make up $5.33 in next two years. Yea I have some nice ocean front property in Arizona. %$@@%@.

SF3;

At $297/t for 1 DNS14px wheat... $57/t basis nets $240/t.

$6.50/bu... PPO price...

Things are looking up... The PNW price is only US$11.21/bu!

Thats only $425/t.

Here is US Wheats Sept 17/10 take on this:

"Wheat prices were up sharply this week, buoyed by rising corn prices more than offsetting lower than expected export sales. CBOT nearby prices gained 35 cents, closing at $7.40/bu. KCBT gained 21 cents on the week, closing at $7.68/bu, while MGEX gained 28 cent, to $7.71/bu. CBOT corn prices gained 65 cents, closing at $5.14/bu, due to continued concerns over tight corn supplies. CBOT soy prices were 51 cents higher, closing at $10.70/bu.

Concern over the US durum harvest has slowed trade of higher grade durum to a halt. Elevators are reportedly hoarding higher quality durum until this year's crop is completley harvested.

Two killer frosts have hit northern Alberta, most likely damaging the provinces grain crops. The Canadian grains harvest is the furthest behind its been in the last six years. Continued wet weather is keeping farmers out of their fields and is also delaying the harvest in Montana and western North Dakota.

US exporters are reportedly turning away nearby business due to the tight loading capacity in the nearby months of October and November. Some inland logistical issues are being caused by a slow down of corn and soybean inspections at the Gulf. Quality discrepancies between upcountry elevators and export elevators have many traders requesting re-inspection of cargoes. The tying up of railcars is affecting exports as far away as the Pacific Northwest.

The price of HRS 14.0 protein wheat is on the rise due to increased demand for higher protein wheat by domestic millers and exporters for blending with lower protein stocks. Concerns over the declining quality of the portions of the HRS crop that are still uncut are also raising premiums, especially in the Pacific Northwest.

US Export sales were below trader expectations this week putting some downward pressure on wheat prices. Net sales reached 484,600 MT, well below trade estimates of 850,000 to 1,250,000 MT. Increases were reported for Unknown Destinations (220,001 HRW and 21,000 HRS), Peru (70,600 HRW adn 15,000 SRW), Japan (33,763 HRW, 573 HRS, and 33,735 white), South Korea (11,100 HRW, 17,900 HRS, and 28,400 white), Libya (51,429 HRW), Indonesia (1,000 HRW, 10,250 HRS, and 40,000 white), and Italy (28,901 HRS and 20,473 durum).
The Dollar Index fell to 81.39 on Friday, up from 82.74 a week ago. The dollar was hit by a strengthening Japanese Yen.
The Baltic Panamax dropped to 2,928 this week, down from 3,396 a week ago. The index is being driven down by negative sentiment due to new ships coming online."
