Hey lets compare again ND vs Sask!

[charliep]

timm - You did sell wheat at $9/bu which was a good thing - something the new CWB programs allowed although there could be discussion about whether the US price on that day was better (both fpc and US price converted to your bin). Still comes down to a good decision on the opportunities you were presented.

Off topic but was amazed how few farmers forward priced wheat spring 2008 and how many used a basis contract.

Timm doesn't North Dakota export as much a percentage of hard wheat as we do so that means their price is set by the export market. Our price should be the same. And like Charlie says on your fixed price contract, shouldn't you also compare what the North Dakota price is on the same day. I any case good on you to get some 9 dollar plus. Tipping rail cars is also a good idea. Show the rest of the country what bullshit we actually take here.

good on you timm for getting 9.00 for your wheat But I would sure like to see what the ND price was at that day and time just to compare price.

[Hopperbin]

OK tipping rail cars is not a good idea.
Gotta do something that don't give a criminal record. hehe

The ND price would have been higher, no doubt about it there would have been lots of money left on the table. The question about getting it there is a red herring. In an open market the price would come to you. And as far as wanting a little more Sask you're not asking for a little more just the same as everyone else is getting.
