    Well it was inevitable. Surprising it lasted this long. Was the land that Ontario Teachers Pension Fund bought the stuff Broadacre was farming?

          They sold into the US durum market for those 8-9$ #1 cwad values prior to harvest coming off.. and produced all junk and it made more sense to claim bankruptcy than deliver junk and take massive discounts..

          Reliable source passed that info along. Big contributing factor IMO

              I wondered if FCC was backing these guys. Now I know. Lots of farmers, too. Its funny how they fall for the big flashy new guys in town. There's definitely a limit to what is manageable. You gotta know when to hold em- know when to fold em. Know when to walk away- know when to run. They should have asked Kenny Rogers.

              Its tough enough to farm small, but much tougher when spread out all over Western Canada.

                Wouldnt they just walk away from the durum contracts. Then the us elevator would have to try and take them to court for damages which would take quite awhile and there is a pretty good chance they wouldn't bother trying to do that.

                  The mission statements of these kind of companies makes me laugh.

                    What about machinery leases, are they not creditors?

                      the guys with land as security will get their money. guys with machinery will gt most of their money and the rest are probably going to get screwed.
