    mallee-you didn't say anything about your freight to salt water. We have Rocky Mountains on one side and Great Lake system with lake freighters, canals, reloading and unions on the other. Our third option is only open a few months because of ice.

      The grass is always greener on the other side. No matter where you farm, there are always enough leaches along the way.

        Canola $495/T
        Feed Barley $176/T

            any american prices lately. They are way
            cheaper than us.

                Where I live in Helberta the oil price per barrel has gone down about $20 in the last while but the pump price has not moved. !@#$% crooked snakes are ripping us off but good.
