Strangely Quiet at the CWB

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.

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.

I think the gravity deck might take it out this year.
Good winter project since won't have much for my
truckers to do. Also another winter project is
getting my old tandem running. My boys could
learn something. It's a gas but for the cleaning
plant it worked fine. Hm see you can find projects
if you look.

[grrrr]

There are always projects one can do in their spare time. Reading, spelling, grammar.

Duds have added their 2 pennies worth.
Gotta a level playn field to marketeer
in, now whinning and snivelling is only
related ta the fact that canolie crap is
no good and theys lookin ta blame the
seedy sales companies. These boys/girls
can't tell there aholes from a hole in
the ground........
Butt I agree with Wilgrow, the Wheatie
Bored is doomed ta failure, under
guidance of gobermont minions......

yer downhome framing knowledge. Make it
er break it, yup they'd love ya ta
bits........

ALBERTAFARMER4: I still OWN a farm and I still LIVE on a farm. My forebears for generations have been farmers. Government policy such as that put forth by Harper and Ritz interest me as they have a direct effect on the profitability and viability of farming.
If you have an opinion express it and I bloody well will express mine. It that clear enough?

[blackpowder]

My landlords claim to to 'farm' as well and they would have kept status quo as well. I respect their right to an opinion just not the opinion itself.
Good for you wilagro.
Question for both: The same management team is in place. The same programs are available to us. They no longer have free access to all western inventory, thats all.
Are you suggesting that under the table the govt is hamstringing them?
You don't trust the govt so you wont support the cwb at all??
OR. Once the wall came down the emporerer had no clothes??
IF you refuse to support it now;
not only was your attitude a large part of it's downfall yesterday, but your sealing it's fate tommorrow.
Safe Harvest.

Some stuff I have seen (a little dated) suggested that the new CWB has been one of the most active organizations contacting farmers and talking about their programs. Their website (for those who look) has good solid information. Like everyone else, the CWB will key in on stakeholders (farmer and grain handlers) that bring the grain up the driveway to their organization.

Little flurries of activity/debate on Agriville but mostly quiet from my point of view in other places. Crabbiness with canola has replaced the CWB as the topic of debate here. If anything, I am sensing a flow back to cereal acres next year as farmers try to bring their rotations back into reality. An opportunity for everyone in the supply chain to gear for a new reality.

[blackpowder]

Charlie, I was heavy canola '10, heavy cereal '11.
Balanced maybe for '12 if leaning canola again.
Rents up again.

[Hopperbin]

Would be logical that the cwb would be contacting these would be supporters for where the frick is the grain lol.
