dmlfarmer,
For Board grains the CWB provided the Capital to pay grain growers in the past for the initial up front. When Viterra pays non-board cash tickets they must borrow the cash till the customer buys the grain and takes delivery.
This is NOT spin... it is a true cost... and Capital is absolutely what it is called. When a grower buys seed in the spring... it takes Capital to pay for the seed and inputs... till you get paid for the grain after harvest.
