Canola 12700 - 6000 crush 5000 sales = 1700 carry charlie whats the numbers again for this break down.

Wait am I right about the crop. Take Manitoba production loss and Eastern Sask production loss and South Regina to Yorkton lower production. Then add in super production in Humboldt NB etc. and its a basic average crop. This survey was done when farmers were in full harvest mode in higher yielding areas of Western Sask so farmers saw results. HM maybe not as good as last year.
Just a thought for dissection this morning.

Never saw an accurate stats can survey yet. Production most of the time is up, up, up. Everyones bins must be busting lol.

[groundspeed]

I believe stats can is a market manipulation tool.

Crush and Exports could easily be 6.5MMT each. Statscan Number seems a bit surprising for the low side. Should help canola if it was about Canola alone.

From here it looks like Manitoba is a child dependant on federal money, that;s why they vote NDP. Big government will look after them. Don't worry Klause Alberta just elected it's first NDP Premier calling herself a PC she got in with massive support from the Teachers, nurses and public service unions. We will race you to the bottom.

Stats Can for a change did not ruin my day, but world economies are still taking our potential profits.
Canola down $5.80 this morning, along with every other grain and oilseed.
SK3 you agree with Stats Can on crop size.
I am surprised given the yellow summer I saw where ever I went.

I think the production numbers are not far off for a change. One thing never taken into account is the amount of off grade canola in those production numbers. Large amount of off grade canola from this part of the province with green seed in later maturing canola and cleavers in Liberty. Alot of downgrading with ADM sending out constant reminders that loads are being rejected in Lloyd. Just food for thought.

Im hearing awsome yields and in the next
breath but their was wrecks around in every
area. Our area anywwhere from higfh 50s to 7.

[Klause]

So true.


I joked on facebook yesterday... "I'm a committed white male with clear goals, a plan to get there, a farm, and a high paying off-season job. That makes me an extreme minority".. At the same time, saying that locally here might just get me into a fist fight.

I went to vote. Every house along the way has a VoteNDP sign in front of it.

[furrowtickler]

We are the same here, high's in the 58-62 and lows in the 25-30's. Average in this area will be in the high 30 to low 40's. Much the same as last years canola just different areas. North of the river had higher yeilds last year and south had exessive moisture problems. This year is the opposite. Makes life interesting.
On wheat, this may be one the highest quality crops ever seen accross western Canada if the ergot can be managed.

You can't discount the effect that Hugh McFadden's leadership of the PC's has had in effectively turning off his membership base. Other than the Bipole Hydro issue, there is nothing in his platform to differentiate the PC's from the NDP. Even on the crime issue, his solution is to pour money into the St. James Civic Centre. As far as the deficit goes, he's promising eight years of deficits as opposed to the four touted by the NDP. That doesn't sound very conservative to me. In talking to many conservative supporters lately, it's hard to find anyone who is enthused about McFadden and eager to help him out. The troubles in Manitoba to some extent start with the conservative party itself. Does anyone know what they stand for anymore, other than to be NDP lite?

[silverback]

Too busy trying to become the ndp.

[Fransisco]

NDP lite? From where I sit it looks like they've been running to the left of NDP.
