HWSW buyer

[eatmorewheat]

If the CWB won't take your HWSW we will.

If you offer and they decline sell your hard white spring wheat to Hayhoe Mills at www.hayhoe.com.

Ontario is just smokin' since the wheat board here folded like a cheap tent. And the biggest winner this year? The Ontario wheat farmer.

Maybe PM Martin will be the guy to wind up the WW II wheat board.

Keep up the heat and free wheat in the west.

I don't have any HWSW at the present time. However, would Hayhoe Mills enter into a contract with a prairie wheat grower to purchase 2004 production of HWSW? For that matter, what about other kinds of wheat?

The media out here in the west are suggesting Paul Martin might put Ralph Goodale back in the ag minister seat. I sure hope not because then we would not have a chance at any kind of marketing change.
I would not be afraid to market the wheat I grow on my own.
We do it with everything else we grow.
We market through the big line companies, the independent grain traders, to individual end users, you name it if there is an opportunity, we do a little home work and then we maybe make a sale. It is an ongoing process it does not matter wether we are in the middle of winter, in the middle of seeding or harvest you have to be constantly on the lookout for opportunities. I do not have an off-farm job because I am too busy farming, enjoying my kids, going on a holiday every now and then, and Iam loving it.

Perhaps we should ask the cwb if I can contract directly with you [which we now do in Ontario]and while we are at let's ask them if a baker in Quebec can contract directly with you and then I just mill it for him.
Would the cwb seize the mixer and oven of the Montreal baker for violating the cwb act? Or would the baker be violating the act? Or would they want to risk the political firestorm that would occur in the new PM's hometown over such a repressive and nationally harmful law.

Free wheat in the west.

If you don't mind me asking. What would a Ontario farmer get for his #1 wheat a bushel delievered to the mill on the open market vs. OWB?

I logged on and and fell out of the chair,at the price difference. Outstanding!!!!

Jackflash,

I think you were looking at the soybean prices. You can get back in your chair now. Nothing to write home about here except that millers buying wheat from Ontario producers pay less than for similar commodities purchased from the CWB.

I guess I did get ahead of myself. They are making a killing on soybeans. Back to the wheat,is the price quote by the wheat board what the farmer will end up with at crop year end or is there a pay't coming.
What I see here is the open market wheat seller is getting .30 more in the pit and his money working for him 12 mos. earlier.
Now our situation in Western Canada, is we are getting 2.20 initial for #1 13.5. and maybe another 1.50 final pay't looking at the pro's. Due to the states shutting down the border,The CWB's inept handling of marketing last year, and being a non election year in the Wheat board. Not too many options for the wheat farmer..
