anyone delivering #1 HRS Wheat

[craig]

Just curious if anyone has been able to deliver #1 HRS wheat to their elevator. Our spot doesn't see any delivery until at least February.

We farm in Western Manitoba and have delivered all our RS Wht, which grades #1, starting end of Aug up until Dec. Had 2 B train loads grade #2 because of midge damage but all the rest was #1.

20% delivered so far. (central ab.)

some neighbors at zero. (bugs and no space/trains)

a little moved at harvest, none since....terminals have orders, no cars as of yet...there is talk of movement in the new year...we hope

we pushed hard to get our high protein no. 1, to lock in the premium under the first initial payment. all the other guys in our marketing club have been doing the same thing and i think we're all up to the 40% call. if you have fpc's and 15pro , it's worth more than 20$/t to not have to wait until feb.

Is there any way to know which areas receive rail car allocation/service ?

Depends on which port it goes to? Problems in Vancouver, again?

Surely all 3 western provinces would be shipping grain equally? (ie Man/Sask wouldn't get their grain shipped first, or vice versa?)

20% SE Sask.

surely as people are honest on this forum it appears all three provinces are not shipping grain out equally. but the calls do differ by train run sometimes, don't they?

I asked our elevator manager whether lack of shipping was an in house issue ( some points getting shipping some not) He said they get info from the board every week which gives info on sales committments. His suggestion is that it is not likely anyone is getting shipping on #1 HRS . I know that our elevator does not have much surge capacity so they only call what there is shipping lined up for .
