Strangely Quiet at the CWB

[Burbert]

Nothing, not a peep from this gobermont
marketeering agency fer some time now.
They must be goin under eh!

[wilagro]

Ritz and his gang don't want the CWB to be "competitive" with the grain buying companies and they have said so. Best for the CWB to stay in the shadows and not draw attention to themselves lest they take business away from the "big boys" as that would never do.

The village idiots have spoken!

[ALBERTAFARMER4]

Wilagro, why do you even post here if you're not a
farmer?

[farmaholic]

Do what every self respecting farmaholic would do, have another drink and farm another year. Good luck--admission is half the battle!!!

[cottonpicken]

Lol,always like the farmaholic handle,describes so
much about farmers in one word.

[sumdumguy]

SF3 you take farming too seriously. It could be
way worse, we could still have the wheat killer
board and have to give them your wheat for a
coupla of bucks and then by finger fed wee
crumbs for a year or more.

And no grain dryer roaring away in your yard.

Hope your harvest is a safe one.

[sumdumguy]

Wilagro, who cares what the CWB does? Just
glad its out of my face. You can follow it atound
like a sick puppy, have fun.

Nothing like getting up at 4:30 to do stock market
work before a full day of combining,but an
affirmation from one of the worlds most successful
men confirming my 9 year believe that the current
economic chaos is leading us into the biggest
financial opportunities ever will make the day less
hard.

[SASKFARMER3]

I know I take things very serious.
Farming is one. In a great crop you
count the bags on the ground. Because
after the Bins are full its your profit.
In a shitty year you count the bags in
the shed.
Farmaholic I like that term. Even if we
fall off the wagon we will still be back
next year.
At least I dont have to attend meetings
and go My name is Saskfarmer and I am a
Farmaholic.
Their is always that one day in every
farmer when you see the writing on the
wall, and its not in your favor. That
day was yesterday so maybe a farmaholic
is like a drunk or druggie, you know
when you hit bottom.
In Canada you have one chance at a crop
then their is Winter. So like the saying
goes theirs always next year.
Safe harvest to all! lets get ur Done!

[SASKFARMER3]

Cotton I agree their is going to be some
very good options out side the farm to
make some real money!

SF3; You say your durum is a 3 and wheat is a 2. What is down grading it in your area?

[SASKFARMER3]

In both the Durum and HRS its little tinny
pieces of ergot. Not your big elephant ear
type but little wheat size ergot.
Also fusarium. Thats the kicker so far.
Will fill my contracts and then see.
All were sprayed with prosario and tilt.
But with all the rain over the summer were
lucky to get anything.

[wmoebis]

Thanks SF3;
I was just wondering, haven't seen much ergot or fus in our area, but not much cut yet either. Will get a better handle on it in a while.

If spreads are big enough could be some blending opportunity before or at delivery. Lots of money could be made on blending and cleaning for grade improvement.
