wedino It is the charge because of the usuual elevation deduction of board grains. I often wonder if the concept of knowing all the costs along the way is better, as in shipping, elevation, true basis, logistics costs etc or the way canola and other grains are sold where the price is at the point where risk is removed.
I don't know which way is better? What if canola took that route? $400 per tonne as the first line on your cheques than all the deductions until it hit your truck. It is more open and transparent, but seems to work only when it is all pooled. If I shipped to ADM in Lloyd, I wouldn't pay rail so I wouldn't get that 400 initially. Or would I as the oil gets shipped out by rail? Gets convoluted quickly.
Again, does malt need to be like the other grains and the price you get is the price delivered, not the price the customer gets minus his costs. This is where the industry needs to wake up and price properly. What about malt used here in western Canada? You shouldn't have to pay rail cost to Vancouver like a pooled malt of the old days. This is what this topic is about.
