Different Marketing Meetings with Different Elevator companies?

[DogPatch]

Well Saskfarmer3, you got your wish........ Market choice, but now you have to figure out what to make of it.

[Braveheart]

In our plans grade spreads will not be much of an issue. We will be concentrating on basis. Understanding what is a good basis will help us know what is going on in the new marketplace.

As a reminder where we are starting from
today, when are final grade and protein
spreads established today when you
participate in the pooling accounts? In
a fixed price contract or flexpro?

What is a good producer payment option
basis? What is the difference between a
fixed price contract qnd a flexpro?

[SASKFARMER3]

Protein protein protein. Grades 1 or 2 or
3 not a big dif. Some years protein is a
dollar higher.
Grades we have been hit with this grade
shit over and over. Sprouts cause problem
but our ERGOT tollerence in Canada is BS>

Charliep: I agree with you. In the past we never knew what the premium/ discounts were going to be and it depended on the crop quality and how much of what was available. But now we have a choice to exercise our marketing power(if you think you have any). Yes, basis is a wonderful indicator.

Comedian framers take what they get,
like it er lump it!! Only impartial
terd party, is the Comedian Grain
Commission. Who in the f&*k would waste
time with that organ?
Get them ta grade your grain fer a fee a
course, or the kid at the elevator usin
his screw sampler...... Butt framers
kin always dream aboot a fair honest
system where the multi'sll pay fer good
grain and dock poorer grain.
Unfortunately there is no such thing as
good grain in Comedia, only marginal at
best, im my experience!!!

[DogPatch]

Whats wrong with the Ergot tolerance? Ergot is a poisonous fungus, and takes effort to clean out. Why wouldn't it be subject to some sort of downgrading?

[SASKFARMER3]

Dog patch yes it is a problem, but world specs
are.5 not.3 like Canada. So we're over docked.
Falling numbers is more effected by July aug rain
during harvest of winter wheat, Canada is a spring
crop most is above 300.
Funny part was two companies were higher grade
don't worry and one is lower base worry a bit. Two
were its like canola one it's major leagues.
Time will tell I'm probably getting a protien tester
for fall and smaller bins ordered instead of 50000
bushel. Durum I think we're done growing. Not
sold on cps wheat either.
Oh well canola acres on our farm will be down
that I do know.

CGC specs for ergot are 0.01% for 1CWRS, 0.02% for 2CWRS, 0.04% for 3 CWRS, 0.04% for 4CWRS
