Prairie Companies Stand By Their Basis Bids!

And this too shall pass.....someday.

Where's Tom?

And we will continue to get exactly what we will tolerate.

End of rant.

On bucket's question of how they do it in states with more elevator companies and production,have often wondered the same thing.
Opening post infers that we get a dollar per bushel less for wheat.
Whenever someone suggests change to make our transportation and handling system and government regulations more like US, there are all kinds of reasons why we should not change.
Some of resistance dates back to wheat board and Crow transportation, both of which received broad farmer support at one time.
Could be we are our own worst enemy in getting beneficial change.

Wow guys, wow. All I can say is that I have never received so much for my cereal grain since the end of the CWB. Good riddance.

It isn't easier than the old days, but has never been better.

[Hopperbin]

Oh yes we recieve more than 3 dollars per bushel. No fusarium mixing although a target on high fuzz may surprize. I would wo der how the old cwb would have dealt with what we have. We will never know so look to the future. Jag how is your cwb ellevator doing?

[Hopperbin]

Anyways I challenge the old cwb to buy my grain cheaper like they said will happen under open market. I still think I will sell to bighest bidder.

Have to laugh at all the comments. Even though the CWB had hidden costs and other shady things, that whole single desk marketing looks pretty good after what has been happening the last two years.
