Straw Poll

[mustardman]

I agree sawfly all the big money would have been doing everything to keep him from winning

[SASKFARMER3]

Mustard if all you have left from a great canola
crop is a little spending money it's not much of a
crop.

[mustardman]

No there are probably some 45 and 50 plus crop. I have just have a beef with seed companies that turn $12 canola into $ 465 seed

[mustardman]

On most years continuous cropping in the palliser triangle the only people making money growing canola are the $465 per bushel seed companies.

This year and last will be the exception

[northfarmer]

mustard, why do you buy the seed if it is not a good deal. I am sure you could get your hands on the old op varieties for cheap...oh, but then you would not get the returns on the canola you now enjoy

I don't understand why he doesn't grow all wheat and barley. That's where the money is (-:

[freewheat]

Oats are a month away, canola 2-4 weeks
from cutting. Wheat green as a lawn,
barley, anywhere from grass green to 2
weeks away.

Was down at regina on the weekend. There
is actually wheat that is quite ripe,
canola being cut, etc. But what else is
new, we're always weeks behind.

[mustardman]

Northfarmer I don't buy the seed. I don't grow canola

[mustardman]

checking durum will net out alot higher than canola due to way less input. So whats the r.o.i for canola companies on seed and why doesnt anyone bitch about it on this site?

Oh right we are supposed to only bitch about the board

[TOM4CWB]

Mustard,

No need to worry about it... so many choices and opportunities... it is fun to decide which option to choose... who to sell the produce to...

If there is sooo much money in hybred canola seed production... why aren't you growing it and selling it???

[checking]

Mustardman.

Isn't choice grand.

Like you I also don't grow canola, and likely for similar reasons, so you are asking the wrong farmer about roi on company canola seed. My oilseed was flax until that was royally pooched.

Durum, well there's a 6000 tonne binned product that will remain in that state till August 2012, which should have been August 2011. What do you find so offensive about world durum prices that were available in Sk. through Johnston's at $15.00/bushel (if only not obstructed) that you would be so happy to hope that a PRO of $9.64 would hold that you could collect on through the CWB?

Please say you have a sharper pencil on your mustard sales.

The tea party thing is what is scary to me.Its been
hijacked by twisted monsters so now the level heads
will be associated with kooks in the minds of most of
the public.

Has anyone heard what kucinich is doing?
