I actually cant believe the Americans haven't asked Canada to implement sales reporting...

Just wondering why you would think that? How do you know if they don't already have them. Lots of grain companies operating in Canada are multinationals.

I don't think the USDA is to concerned about Western Canadian farmer being deprived of vital marketing information, as we are their competition.

Do recall how many court challenges the USA wagered against the CWB, who did provided sales numbers, and kept grain companies somewhat honest?

Freedom!

They were the dishonest ones. You should have tried to get special crops cars or producer cars when the Big Bully CWB was calling the shots. They were brutal!

I call Bull Shit on that one SUM, the CWB was a strong advocate for producers cars. I loaded producer cars for both Flax and CWRS. Through the years I loaded over 20 cars. Never was refused once. CNR was always easy to work with as well.

Now try and get a producer car SUM, almost all producer car loading sites have been decommissioned. Your friends, the grain companies sure as shit won't help you now.

Maybe put the blame where it belongs, either your administrator or yourself.

Grain companies are our friends? Who knew.

Dumb question sure I know the answer but canola has always had a free market or was it at one stage under the CWB umbrella?

Canola has always been a cash crop in Canada; full payment upon delivery. Whether it is a free market or not is another thing altogether...

Yes canola was always, more or less open market.

It has been heavily manipulated over the years by the exporters. Can’t remember the year or even what companies were involved but one companies squeezed another really hard because they were long on futures and had no physical to cover the position.

Who says the exporters don’t take positions? Or speculate!

Probably wouldn’t have happened if there were market sales reporting?
