Fixed price contract really sucking today

timm we've been through this a number of times before. You know very well that there is no need to adjust for protein.

Not the .5 diff.....from the research I did
somewhere between .1 and .2 .At .30 $ per 1/4
around .40 $ less.Makes flex pro close !!

Was told close only counts in horse shoes and $hit fights.

[Fransisco]

Well then timm please share that research.

...which is exactly what the market did, and even then, the flagship of the CWB can't even match the market, let alone offer a premium market price.

These comparisons between 13.5 % protein on the Canadian side and 14% on the U.S. have been going on a long time. The CWB has always complained about them, that they are supposedly "unfair". But they have never pointed to protein as one of those things. The reason why is because 13.5 Canadian and 14 U.S. are the exact same and they know it.

Even when you put your thumb on the scale like timm does with protein they can't get a premium.

So, how do you like that?
A day before the deadline and the CWB bumps the pro up .45/bushel and drops the fpc .03/bushel for a difference of .16/bushel.
Sold on the fpc today. Looks like the cwb is trying to scare guys into the pool.

They had to it, the pool was still way too low.
