WINNIPEG, MANITOBA, CANADA — Richardson International Limited announced on Aug. 30 that it has successfully loaded a vessel of wheat in the Port of Churchill. The MV New Legend Pearl was Richardson’s first wheat vessel to be loaded and shipped out of the Northern Manitoba port following the enactment of the Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act.
The vessel set out on route to Colombia on Aug. 25 with 27,500 tonnes of No. 2 Canadian Western Red Spring wheat originating from Richardson Pioneer elevators in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
“Recent changes to Western Canadian grain marketing have opened up new opportunities in the industry, and have made the Port of Churchill more accessible to us,” said Terry James, vice-president, export marketing. “Being headquartered in Manitoba, we are pleased to have quickly identified opportunities to make use of Manitoba’s port in the new grain marketing environment.”
Richardson has a longstanding connection to the Port of Churchill, having shipped the first cargo of wheat from the Port on Oct. 11, 1929, when the Engava set course for Liverpool, England with a shipment of Manitoba wheat. Further shipments of various grains and oilseeds out of Churchill are being planned by Richardson for the remainder of the shipping season."

Burbert you seem pretty set against farmers making a buck. So what really is your story on how you come to be what you are today? Do you have a story for us or are you going to just keep giving us all this crap about smoke and mirrors as that is all you are at this moment. Show us what you are?

[Burbert]

Do yous agree that it is the short crop
that is making fer the great prices, er
the demise of the farmer run comedian

[Hopperbin]

Well of course it is a short crop you jerk off. But would these pricing oportunities still be here with the cwb monopoly? That is the question. My question to you is why you so grumpy or down like the Eor character on winnie the poo Well I am 47 years single farmer had an ok start farming in my opinion as an only son parents living comfortably. got kids really enjoy them and hope some day they have possibly a farming career as I like to talk farming.

couple years ago with poor conditions all
over the world the cwb got 8.50 for there
farmers,that was with 20 dollar wheat.
farmers have had a chance to get higher
prices already.didnt the cwb buy back
wheat at 20 dollars and lose app. 100
millon.

[Hopperbin]

Wakopa some had higher freight rates than yourself.

[Hopperbin]

Just saying many farmers got less than the 8 50

[wakopa]
