    But how short is American and Eastern corn? They aren’t bumper crops by any means. And we’re already seeing American dollars come up here and get forages because of our low dollar, so can our lower dollar tempt American grain up here past their drought areas?
    We will have to find a way to do it, If we want to have a viable livestock feeding sector when this is all over.

      They expect export 73 million tons this yr.
      Whoever wants to pay will get all they want.

      About how much more than quoted midwest prices is it delivered feedlot?
      Do the big feeders by direct or do the Lethbridge feed broker like Shafer or Wilber Ellis do most?

        Cargill feed division is already working on bringing up 110 car trains of corn to southern Alberta delivered to central points at $325 a tonne so there will be a top on feed grains.

          USD or CDN ...if Canadian thats 8.25 a bushel if my math is right...

          Freight in or out? Chances are there is a trucking bill attached as well.

            So $7.00 delivered to southern ab. Thanks for the real world numbers.
            That is why I've started pricing old crop feed grain lately

                Corn is a higher energy feed. Not apples to apples . . .

                  Old crop corn here is $8.60 and new crop $6.80 today for some contrast. Currently no discount for feed wheat due to heavy demand from Quebec, $8.25

                      When is the ETA? And is corn a 1 for 1 substitute for barley, or is energy lower?
