Hopper you can have a call option on anything. A call option is simply the right to buy something a a set price "strike price" for a given time period of time. This is exactly what you are doing when you "put in a target" granted you can cancel it any time but most wont. And thats what grain buyers are counting on.

Hopper, lets say your farm is worth $5,000,000 today if you put it up for sale. Lets say you are thinking about selling in the next 12 months. Would you give me the option to buy at 5.5 million?

....with no compensation to you if he doesn't exercise his option to purchase and you couldn't sell it to another prospective buyer because you were committed to him because of the contract you signed.

CPP bought assiniboa.

It's a ****ing ponzi scheme. Using government money.

Same with input capital. These guys have been on the tit for quite a while. It's the the new and improved land bank.

Exactly farmaholic. Bit of one sided deal for me wouldnt you say.

The few times I've offered a "target price", I've only allowed them 5-7 business days, to $h*t or get off the pot!
If you don't want it, then I don't want you tying up my grain, costing me opportunity at other places.

Border bloke ,

You are onto something. When a person "offers out" a product or service there should be a deadline. You can always offer it out again.

For numbers sake bgmg. If my farm is woth 5 milliin I may give you the option to buy at 4.5 million one year from now for an up front fee of 1 million. Costing you a cool half a million. But saving you half a million plus if the price one year from now is 5.5 million plus. That is a call option. Selling at a target is sold grain. No call put involved.

Hobby all targets have a deadline and either party can cancel at any time before its accepted.
