    allmoy, I also have close to 70% of my Wheat delivered. You're right there is only 40% open. But in my area lots of guys can't haul do to bugs, tough grain etc. So I've been lucky to fill their spots.

      Snappy, sorry about not answering your question I got caught up with the Macarthyists who are paranoid and think there is a commie behind every bush.

      Now when Canola was under the CWB (or was it -this was long before my time ? any ways the days of ****seed are long gone and the oilseed that is grown today does not resemble its predesessor
      much except for the yellow flower. So how can you compare ? Besides what is the net return, on my farm last year my Nexxera Canola left me with a NEGATIVE $46/ acre (using variable costs only) My board crops were alot better than this. Price is only 1/2 of the equation.

        Almoy, all I know is the AU agent (SW MB)told me there was a new call. I said "to 60%" he said "yup" I didn't question too hard. They wanted wheat and I am eager to deliver.

          Almoy,

          I guess my agent has alot of friends, because we were waiting over half an hour to unload. Everything from super B's to 1962 3 ton's. All had cwrs.

          Not that this has anything to do with anything but when your waiting in line you observe things and what I observed was that those little old 300 bushel trucks usually take alot longer to unload than semis do.

              Adam when did i say anything about closing down a free market?I take it you were ASSuming.
              It would take a lot of words to explain what cuba is and i probably would not change anyones mind so i'm not going to bother.I swear there is a hypnotic trigger in most peoples brains that makes them hit the deck when the word communist is mentioned.

              Adam i new you were pretty shallow but the three ton truck comment was a very arrogant.

                Just wanting to get people back on track. i did a little more shopping of my #1 CWRS and found another elevator who has stock piled a lot of high protein CWRS so that producers could take advantage of the early protein spreads. So much for not having to have marketing skills when selling CWB Grains. I do think there is some truth to the fact that companies get use to pulling certain grains from certain areas. I just happen to be close to an elevator that handles lots of canola.

                    AdamSmith, The farmers in this area either own semis or hire them as we have no elevators close enough to haul with 3 tons.My point was that there are farmers with no wheat delivered that are told there is NO room while others in the same area are over delivering. Same type and protien level. I believe once the CWB is gone this will become common.

                      So Almoy, if it's happening now you say with the CWB, when they're gone you think this will still be common??

                      I don't understand what you mean??
