Chlorophyll locked in at 3-5, now what!

Discounts........ why shouldn't there be discounts or grade reductions for green content, fusarium, dockage, ergot, stones, tough, damp, low bushel weight etc? Sure they could blend it off, but why should you get the same price as something that meets the optimum specs?

Oh my god they are all out to screw us and rob us. Get a live!

Just curious if you find lumps, stones, other stuff in
the pelleted fertilizer you buy acceptable? Surely you
can deal with poor quality product. As a buyer, are
you trying to screw the fertilizer dealer?

[DogPatch]

So far we haven't had any lumps that were of concern. I have bought lumpy fertilizer to spread on hayland for either a discount, or free spreader rental though

in regards to the green canola oil sample..... we were always told, and it is true that a green or sunburnt potatoe was something to avoid. Funny how the processors always sneak a bunch into the 10lb bag that we have to buy, that we just end up throwing out. It might not have the been the producer, but rather the consumer that "got screwed"

The price of canola oil in the store is getting close to the "we can't afford to buy it" price

Dogpatch,

you should go to more Canola Producer meetings... we are given bottle after bottle... FREE.

It is hard to believe that a couple of tblspns of Canola Oil if it did cost 20 percent more... per serving... 1000L/t 70UK Tblspns/L ...
$1240/t from canola a local crusher... last I priced it in July.

At 2-3 cents per tblspoon it is hard to believe less than a cent per serving increase... would make Canola too expensive.

Cheers!

Compared to bottled water, canola oil is
almost free considering what it takes to
get each into a bottle. Maybe i should be
bottling water not spraying it.

If the green canola oil is getting a premium and they are giving it away..... then that's like the CWB. Wheres the premium? I would suggest that an inferior product should go to the Biodiesel sector and not onto the supermarket shelves.
