No! I don't have any numbers.

Could you give us a breakdown of all the buyers you included and how many tonnes each signed, to come up with your estimate? Rather than pooling contracts it would be more interesting to see your actual sales estimates individually.

From Down Under news:

The downswing in the value of the loonie was also an underpinning
price influence.
• Ottawa passed the Marketing Freedom
for Farmers Act, which sparked the
buying of the deferred canola futures
in hopes of preventing prairie growers
from switching to wheat and barley
acres this spring at the expenseof
canola.
• The marketing freedom Act allows
Canadian origin wheat, durum and
barley growers to sell those commodities to other outlets other
than the Canadian Wheat Board
(CWB) beginning with the 2012/13
crop year August 1, 2012.

Chuck and Burbert... the whole world knows just how silly the Crazy 8 CWB Directors were to make the claims about the 'single desk' they and your NFU buddies made!
