Damb computer thats plus 7 to plus 3 today.

We were there from Nov 30 to Dec 4 and It rained and
snowed everyday. It never quit and it rained over 4
inches in one day. Wish we could have brought some
of that rain home with us.

The rain must have caused a back up of ships. Some
of those ships could be there for coal, sulfur, wood
chips ect. I was suprised to learn how much coal they
ship out of the port. I thought coal was a thing of the
past with global warming and everything.

Jagfarms,

At the Alberta Barley Commission AGM the point was made that we would be better to straight burn barley.... we could get more for our feed barley in the EU as fuel that the CWB is selling it for on the world feed market.



How the CWB manages to get us less than west coast foresters are getting for wood pellets... staggers the mind!

I really, really, really doubt that a Saskboy, could tell the difference between a ship that is in the bay to load grain, or one that is in the bay to load, lets say, lumber, coal, wire, shingles, oil, logs, cans, pans, fans, etc.etc.etc. Jumping to conclusions though, is what angriville, is all about. Isn't it?????

[SASKFARMER3]

BurpFart I Can tell the difference, plus have a brother who works out here to explain which one is heading where.
Time for a glass of wine.

Nice to see some things never change.

Longest wait 17 days - if that happened in the private trade - heads would roll not on day 17 - on day 2.

At today's rates that ship has cost farmers between $400,000 to $750,000.The days of $20,000/day wait times are long gone.

Disagree with the figure. Post the correct dollar amount instead of cooking the total number in the annual report.

Burbot and fiends call this price pooling.

I'll give you the mid-point and you would have to sell 50,000 tonnes at a $12.00 premium to break even.

And Agstar don't even try ya but...

No transparency and no responsibility.

Fire someone, FFS.

Saskboy, I guess given the fact that you have the inside track on everything. Why don't you run for parliement? You'd be very good shovelling it the way you do do! Be careful, you are treading on Liberal ground, they may infect you with some of their goodness, and steal some of your godlyness. Tell the port authorities about your 13" auger back home in Sask, bet they'll really be impressed, after all shock and awe does the trick each and every time, metinks
