Growing wheat while giving the CWB the finger.

Ron,

We grew Sadash side by side with Superb.

Very close to same maturity in both 2009 and 2010 crop seasons in east central Alberta.

Not sure if in Red Deer area if this would work... Foremost CPS would be a week faster no doubt. CPSRed5701 etc may be a couple of days shorter... but not much more than that.

Joe Who????


Yous have heard it all agin'. There is certainly nothing more to land values other than land quality. If da weather cooperates you will grow amazing crops on good quality land. Tell you what, you keep farmin that pasture/hay land & I'll keep farmin' top quality ground. Talk in 10 years, sees whos got more cash in da bank....

Klause,

"On that subject... anyone know if you're allowed to haul "feed" wheat to the US?"

If you do the CWB 'buy back' and have CWB quota for the feed wheat... you are allowed to haul to the US with in 30 days (normally) of doing the buy-back.

Last I checked the buy-back and PRO value were close. However often it costs over $12/t to get an Agent of the CWB to do the buyback... so there are costs that add up in a hurry over just the extra trucking to haul south instead of to a local elevator.

Further many times local elevators just refuse to do the buy-back at any price... cause they loose the handle/etc. from the Board grain you take south.
