I sold canary at .55 it should always be
40 cents and if not for manipulation
It always would be.

Hey dave
Little off topic
How about taking barley out of oats ?
Not sure if it’s a problem yet on one this year but sure looks to be?i

I believe that would be handled best across a gravity table. If there is enough difference in bushel weight.

But I am from Leader. I know very little about oats.

Sure, we just need a board to provide a quota system and we can keep market at 40. Until other countries grab the acreage.

We use a rotary drum cleaner with top half of drum sized to slightly larger than canola remover screen, and bottom half with a flax screen. It works like a joe damn for taking canola out of flax. Can't see why it would not work just as well on a canary and canola mix.

Boolshit all controlled by a handful. If we set it at 40
That’s what it would be no acres changed at all.
We practically have a candy board right now
Where the lowest price is rhe law.

It will be 60 cents there is no canary anywhere
And was near none last year.

Big Wheel you are on the money. In all our travels 2500 km we saw one, yes one Canary field. More Canary grown around Regina but it isn’t very drought resistant. How short are the big shooters? We were in the thick of it in 1994, sold a bit over 55 cents. Big boys were caught with pants down. 🥲

I was in your field in 1994 after the frost. We never got above 40 that year to my knowledge. And I don't think we got to 40 even that year but I could be wrong.

I thought there was tiny amounts done at 50 or greater in early 1980s.

Doubtful shorts run very deep when market has been increasing for two years

So canary was sold for 50 cents in the 1980’s

What should the price be adjusted for inflation
for selling today???

50 cents sounds great but is a really poor price with what will be produced this year considering that.

From the 1980’s to today by what factor have wages increased to today? I worked in the oilfield then and got $10/hr. I believe that job is paying $30 now. So these wage earners needing to feed their tweety birds think they will feed tweety for the same price as in 1980??

Canaryseed needs to be at least 50 cents when Durum offers are $18. Dave, I remember too about 1986 or 1988, Canary was bid up to cover shorts, probably in that 50-52 cent range, Those were bin cleaning times.
