China is out of the canola market.

[parsley]

It is their money. Customers are NOT obligated to buy from anyone. Including you.

You will slap me for this one, what's a little more black and blue, right, but try to grow what the customer wants. And if you have problems, as DOES EVERYONE AT SOME TIME, you talk directly to them. In heartbeat time.

If I guy buys a $200,000 bull from you, and he has a prob, don't send Gerry Ritz to fix it.

A canola grower group has {MORE X 2000} influence than a pile of pissing EA's.

Never underestimate the power of an individual farmer because HE HAS THE MOST VESTED INTEREST.

If I was on the Canola Board, I would fly straight to China.

Okay, go ahead tell me how dumb I am. I'll just continue writing music, anyhow.

Look on the EU site of infractions.

China has A SITE but you have to TRANSLATE.

I have not been on for a few days.

China is wanting to buy land. Don't forget that.
South Korea just bought Harvest Oil.

TEND YOUR BUSINESS.

I presume yr info is posted on the canola website, for all farmers, zaph?

My problem is that in this case, it's not a customer issue. Keep in mind that what Agstar said is true. It's purely political.

No, I'm extremely frustrated that nothing is on the canola council web site or CFIA or Ag Cda or CGC.

What really bugs me is that the Reuters story said the notice from China came through a few days ago. If you look at the volume of trade in canola futures since Monday, it's been absolutely huge. So who's doing the insider trading? It might just be the Chinese but it could also be some tipped off Cdn traders too.

The whole thing stinks and it's clearly not a customer problem.

Maybe they don't want to buy our canola anymore, they want to buy our land.

[parsley]

People are people.

I took a lot of heat from organics for exposing the favourable buybacks organics enjoyed.

But secrecy and protectionism breeds scam.

Over the long haul, doing "right" helps everyone. Including international customers and sellers.

I'm going to say this carefully. And as diplomatically, as I often do.

Few, except farmers, don't know what is happening in canola. Farmers need to take their industry back. Canola farmers are not making the money they should be.

And there are Billions of canola dollar bills out there wiping asses. Pars

Adding this;
I will be offline for a few hours if you are waiting for a reply.

My Ukranian friend ordered perogies for her birthday party here tommorow and I am just going to cook 20 dozen of them.

I will only put a candle in one of them, tommorow. But nobody will notice anyhow, after I bring the wine up from the cellar........Pars

OK, let's just say I'm really dense (I hear it regularly at home), but where is all the free money you're talking about? I guess I need it spelled out for me. But please don't say it's organic. That works well for niche markets but not for a 15 million acre industry.

[silverback]

Just got in. Is this chinese canola to be crushed for oil or canola to be planted?

[furrowtickler]

It is canola for crush.

[checking]

And ado, when China buys our land, it will grow canola on it for export to the homeland, and nary will there be a peek that it has blackleg problems.

Good idea Pars, ply the Chinese customers with wine, and they will scarf down our canola blackleg flavored perogies!!

[parsley]

checking,

I really don't think you understand the seriousness.

Farmers, including you, I am going to guess, are not in the loop. Yet it's your canola.

Instead of attacking me, ask why, in this day of instant information, you did not know about the blackleg problem, weeks ago. You should have been planning for it.

You want to attack the messenger? Dandy.

You want to know what's going on?

Go ask the folks who will piddle on your leg and tell you it's raining.

It's what you prefer.

Carry on.

PS:
plum perogies, and cheese and onion perogies, and cottage cheese perogies, and sauerkraut and bacon perogies, and saskatoon perogies.

Now if the lot of you are so ddumbly stupid that you cannot believe the entire Chinese Government could not be bribed by perogies, well, you know nothing. lol Pars
