    In canuckistan's generally non competitive economy, most players in a number of sectors figure that it is better to fatten margins than compete for market share. Occasionally, but not often, somebody rocks the boat a little but not for the most part. Often times outside constraints play a role in this happening like there are only two rail lines to the coast and they might be under the snow at any given time. A little collusion here and there goes a long way as well.

      The original line company’s here , RP , Cargil P&H and Viterra had quite the gig going with suppling all inputs to set the trap for near guaranteed grain delivery. That’s now changing as G3 and grains connect are just grain terminals and actually have to buy grain .
      It is reflected in cash prices a lot this fall and some of the big difference in pricing between them.

        Thanks for last three comments often wonder if ya sick of my aussie perspective and harvest etc. really I guess not relevant but hey will keep posting.

        After reading some of klauses posts and know it only his opinion but seems ag mining forestry is all under valued in Canada, whereas here it underpins the economy different mind set from Govt perhaps we have centre right even right thinking govt.

        Cheers huge rain imminent in parts of our cropping area today up to even 100 mm in a few hours gonna be ugly.

        Not me we will be lucky to see 5 mm thank heavens. About 350 kms away

          Edging closer to $300 on farm for standard 10 to 11.5% wheat yesterday $289

          Edging closer to $600 on farm for canola currently $583

          Barley hopefully $250 on farm ain’t a dream $225 at moment.

          Increase in truck pay loads as well this year.

          Now payloads of up to 59 tonnes, an increase from 44t but elevator that use drive over hoppers is a issue hoopers have to be moved every 75 t whereas 27 t semi trailer just lifts and dumps in stack/bunker.

            Harvest still 2 weeks away here locally before going full tilt.

            So buyers scarce at local elevator only 21 operating today.

            Will scramble once harvest cranks up.

            Geez the 24 hour payment is gonna be a winner one of the multi national global guys as well so not a fly by nighter.

            Have a good evening 8 pm here chow time

            Oh PS prices haven’t risen since fridays close basically same basis eroded just a little.

            $584 on farm canola is reasonable for us aussie guys maybe not enough cream on top for you chaps. Most hanging for $600 on farm equivalent may not quite there, gotta be careful what you wish for.

            Traders doing bussiness with many so there exporting it somewere

                      MAJOR South Australian bulk handler has received 45,797 tonnes of grain in the four weeks to Sunday, according to its latest Weekly Harvest Report.

                      The company received, 36,847t of grain, most of it barley, in the week to Sunday, and reports harvest is now under way across all three regions.

                      Barley made up the first delivery at Loxton site in the Eastern region on Thursday.
                      Eastern region operations manager Jo Klitscher said deliveries were expected to increase in coming weeks.

                      “We have planned our segregations across sites to maximise the elevation capacity based on what our grower customers plan to deliver, and we’ll continue to work with them throughout harvest to match opening hours to their deliveries.”

                      around 40 buyers in its system purchasing grain for the domestic and export markets.

                      “Due to the strong demand, we have historically low levels of grain,so we are very well positioned to manage segregations and maximum storage capacity.”

                      A more detailed delivery summary, grades tonnes at each site can be found on our web site.

                          Good deal👍

                          Just loaded out some feed barley yesterday for $235 picked up. Quite happy with that.

                          Looks like you’re enjoying the wait😎

                          Hope everything goes smooth for you. 🍀

                            I wouldn’t say trade isn’t brisk here or that the grain isn’t fought over. It’s just more behind closed doors.

                            Plenty of grain moving around, sales are being made, both on the farmer level and international. Just don’t see it much.

                            However with the nature of contracted grain, there is less that has to be fought for. A big company has a sale for 60,000 tonne, has 50,000 contracted between various locations, they only need to find an extra 10. So they run a special at a few locations that have the quality they’re looking for or nicer freight or whatever reasons they want, and offer something slim like 10 cents more a bushel. They’ve got time to get it.

                            If there was less presold on contracts the companies would have to put a lot more effort into getting the grain for when they need it. They wouldn’t know 6 months ahead of time that they’ve got the grain for the boat and only need to find another 10,000 tonne before then. They are in a pretty secure position.

                              That’s a very good point contracts destroy competition.
