total production contest rules

[cottonpicken]

If you dont want to play dont play.Its just a fun
game.

Why the hell else are we here?

Winner gets 40 oz of their favorite booze from
me,and not the stuff that is locked up in a display
case.

I say percentages work as well as actual ten year
average production numbers(example durum -
30%)-keeps things simple.

If a change in the weather burns your estimates-
well you should be use to that happening
now,bescides in this game you can only gain-
bragging rights and a bottle

my guesstamites

durum:-60%
spring wheat:-35%
barley:-55%
canola:-15%
lentils:0%
oats:-60%
flax:-70%


anybody else wants to add rules and regulation fine
by me as long as its simplistic.

To be comparable, you need a source for your 10 year average. Can you agree on using table 3 of the 2008/09 CWB statistical summary
(western Canada)? You could use 3A as well. I also assume the production will be the final statistics Canada report.

no we aren't timm - farmlink is
officially 85% sold on o/c canola and
30% on new, although individual client
positions may differ substantially due
to specific circumstances. maybe you're
thinking of ag-chieve, i heard they went
to 50% sold on new-crop canola.

[btjadenlepp]

gust we need your yields

[gustgd]

put me down for the 10 year average yeild over the lower acres. I'll do the math if it looks like it's going to be close.
