Australian Canola Crop Virtual Site!

[SASKFARMER3]

I love this site it shows photos of the crop from Planting to harvest ever second week.

I wish the Genius at Canadian Canola Growers Association would look at setting up this kind of site. AND not have Bayer or Monsanto backing it. Just certain farmers fields throughout Sask or Alberta or Manitoba.
Hey Van Thyme why not.

QUOTE about Single-Desl Losses:

"$260 Mill 2005/06 Pool Losses


The $260 mill “hedging” losses incurred by AWB in the 2005/06 pool have now been formally reported by WEA.

The losses were incurred by AWB under their old pool remuneration model, which saw AWB “hedge” the pool in ways to try and enhance returns. The risks were all borne by growers, so if things went wrong, the pool carried the
losses.

When things went well, AWB were able to claim 20% of the gains under their remuneration system."
