cotton, does the durum look that bad? or will they blend it with last years and turn it from a #5 to a #2?

Not sure,if middlemen and buyers and end users and
everyone else down the food chain can think of
excusses to get it as cheap as possible from us they
will.

Yea I remember the BS that went on in 2002 and 2004. Buying HRS that froze from NE sask then delivering by truck to rail line going to US to mills. Hm they were paying 1.75 and making akilling.
That year I took some of our hrs and made to flour. Family member made bred with top flower and ours. Guess what no real difference in bread tast look and sise. Hm just plain BS. AS ALWAY>

It would not be wise to haul any durum right now if you have any left over from the last two years. Until the cwb gets their price where it belongs, someone at the board should be sweating a little.

Current asking price for durum is 330 a tonne and that works out to a 7.50 spread between the initial and the asking.
