I think were getting bullshitted on Big Canola Supply!

1.2 to 1.9 mmt of floating space indicates a demand for our products......although backing the system up is a much desired strategy....

So elevators make money elevating grain, as per your previous post. So the desired strategy of the elevators is to back the system up, so they can have less elevations and pay increased costs in demurrage to railways and vessels? As for the floating space, or vessels in port, don't mistake that for new demand. They are there to load something that has already been purchased, and again having them sit is just incremental cost's.

My point being grain cos make money doing what they do.....I am just saying there is costs involved in handling grain at the farm....no different.....

I stated my opinion wrong.

the trade is talking 21 million tonnes of canola this year. a local crusher was bidding $12 for spring delivery. mmmh?

[SASKFARMER3]

I might up mine to 18.7. But 21 is dreaming.

12 is where it should be, sorry your 10.5 normal every day price and a special is 11, just not cutting it. Good try

Too bad more wouldn't hold out for 12. Had a call last week special of 11 for Dec delivery not many tons left. The next day had a call from same place 11 special was immediate delivery still never sold.

.....NO WAY! You mean the "limited time or tonnes special" offered five days ago is still being offered? I can't see it and calling bullshit! Afew calls to "dedicated" customers with "extra special" offers would likely fill the orders. Then yup, prices will slip until the next call for grain materializes and there isn't enough on the books to fill the order.

Any other suggestions as to how they are supposed to source needed grain?

Is your sustainable grain blended with regular grain? Are they binning and selling it separately?

To me, thats the first step in giving control to others. Audits and dictating what you can and can't do?

Anyone else have this offered to them? We did but opted not to sign up.

What do they think? We don't farm sustainably? That we are poor stewards of the land? Summerfallow anyone?
