Opportunity?

Recieved Sunday afternoon. Was this canola commited before or after the price decline. How much room do they have on the basis?

"Train is coming Wednesday, WE desperately need canola Monday & Tuesday , please help us out, call to deliver Barb VT@771-4641"

As the price continues to drop this will occur more often as time goes on

Put a 10 on the left side of the decimal and maybe the train will fill. Price drops for weeks at a time and then they hope to fill trains with cheap canola. Maybe "good" customers will get "special" offers.

Agreed 100% farmaholic - but that would be just greedy of is to do that

Send them a target price, make it worth your while. You may need to hire truckers, after all we're in harvest.

I guess if they can't fill their cars then the price is too low as, the market is always right.

The market might be 10.50 while they're filling cars and 8.50 when they're done.

Tell them to **** off . Please do yourself and all your fellow farmers a favor.


Tell them to **** off .

Payback for last winter will be a bitch for the graincos. It wasn't all the railways fault.

Our elevator offered a 14 cent per bushel premium to try a fill a train with Hard Wheat. I said are you sure you can afford it?
