Viterra announced a new build at Biggar, SK this morning. 34,000T Plant with loop track on CP line.

The past 5-7 years a lot of infrastructure like this has been put up

Good news for the Biggar and area producers. I assume the old crib Viterra is past it’s prime.

Access to all buyers at these terminals?

Legislation here no third party access no approval to build.

Depends on the area, a custom trucker told me there will be a Richardson knocked down at Langenburg soon and there was a Viterra knocked down a year ago....farmers weren’t able to purchase either.

This is a very productive grain area so not sure why this is happening?

Wish it would have been set up that way from the start. Area farmers deliver to central terminal where graded and binned by 3rd party then baught and sold by merchants. Like a sortd calf sale. Kinda

You have no cash market persay for malt? Deliver graded sold all in space of 8 to 10 minutes as we have here.

Truck delivers here at elevator, graded, delivery docket farmer can state, best cash price as marketing option, which are listed at elevator, Truck then tares off, weight entered in computer.

Print out given to truck by the time he is outof elevator gate transaction done automatically to the buyer.

Thinking you guys at the time marketing changed there you didnt have to many cash sales, was all pool?

So cash marketing on the day is a little foriegn?

Cash selling been on the go here since early 80s.

The saying goes here.....pools are for fools........but my favourite pools are for swimming

Lots of money to be made handling grain in the country.

I believe its because once on a truck it doesn't matter if its 20 or 200 km.
Its about the best rail rate.
Third gen terminals must make it worth it. ?

I think the new terminal is in RD414 neck of the woods maybe. I wonder when all the new builds will stop?
