Global Investment here

Very interesting set up . Glad your showing us
It is very different than here , but at the same time there are more options showing up here as well . Also many elevators have increased or have plan Sc to increase capacity.
But no storage, basically must be contracted and priced before delivery. Even then delivery can be months behind in some areas.
It’s the total unreliability of our rain system at times. Very little has been invested in rail to improve the efficiency to get through the Rocky Mountains .
Storage facilities would help though when backlogs do happen.
As said most farms have been building their own storage , some big farms have far more than some elevators.

Traders aint stupid they have a fair handle on things.......govt forecasters well thats a different story.

Our traders and our govt are both stupid including private analysts. We have just seen that this yr with the canola production likely being shaved 10% at harvest after drawing in a bunch of pre sellers with bumper crop news.

And there are grading shenanigans here no doubt in my mind after the last 4 yrs.

I had canola with higher than normal cleavers (in the bags) and RP was determined that was sample after harvest. Nope couldnt blend it, not sure blah blah. 6 months later no concerns. Same as my lentils with durum in it and same as my sprouted durum from last year. Same as the grey canola this spring that magically sold as a 1.

The poor grain movement is both a blessing and a curse. Sometimes you catch those terminals empty with an unexpected train sitting on the siding and twiddling their thumbs in the office. Then the grading gets easier. I belive on farm storage is a big reason they never know whats coming and when. Its always better to keep the trade guessing IMHO. Who can last longer, me staring at my bins or 40 ships floating out in vancouver. Its a big game of who blinks first.

This year’s canola crop is a good example of that. Satellite imagery and inadequate ground truthing will leave the shorts with long faces this winter. I think this area alone could be 10 to 15% behind last year, and this is high acreage region. The trade knows it but they don’t want to admit it

The “massive” carry over of canola was a great example the past year , even two years .
It diminishes credibility when the experts get caught with their pants around their ankles

and the huge ,huge, huge canola crop being forecasted by the experts still 2 weeks after the heat/drought event, they were all in on it , thats all we heard from the media , the marketing experts , the farm newspaper, every fk-n one of them
they fk-n lied to us again , and got hundreds of thousands of tons at $10 , again
bloodthirsty miserable pricks taking advantage of farmers with half a crop that desperately need the money
