Decided to sell off a large chunk of Canola

rook, The only handler that I know of is Bunge. The one thing I do not like is limited choice with where to sell, but at least there is a guarantee. For me at least, they are good with dockage, good with a few heated, and good with keeping in touch, etc.. I feel a bit guilty growing an oil that is meant not to eat in this day and age, but they have the 2 buck premium, free trucking, an advance program, lower discounts for green, etc...

BTW I do know they have growers in Alberta: The last few hundred bushels I sent to Nipawin, went in a truck with some alberta product.

What are basis levels out there, seems they are dropping nicely. I got a 13 under Jan. from the most local elevator, 2 other delivery points had the same, Bunge was a whopping 50 cents per bushel less in price to farmer and CMI spalding was 10 cents higher but I did not want to spend the extra time hauling there and in fact never hauled there before so decided to go with the company that give me good service and fair dockage at harvest time. If futures continue to drop we should see better basis levels. Perhaps one should try to lock in a future only or write one of them contracts offering certain tons for a certain price, anyone with any luck with that lately?
