It's entirely possible that feed barley is in very short supply in Manitoba as well as probably most of Saskatchewan. It also possible that corn and barley have become considerably separated from their traditional relative values. But what do I know. It also makes me wonder what the experts know.
Further; as for the Canadian durum situation; I predict that we will get another royal shafting in the upcoming North American durum rally. North Dakota seeding progress is is deep trouble as is Manitoba and Eastern Sask. The proposed changes to the CWB are a full year late to benefit those who have durum supplies. The potential significant profits will once again be diluted by the policies of an institution that tries to remain relevant by duplicating other economic models.
Those are the same models that the CWB claims are so fatally flawed; that they are not in the farmers best interests.
Durum producers need some options right now and will not be well served by another 16 months of CWB monopoly.
