[bgmb]

[bgmb]

pricing
years ago at a CWB meeting.
i was asking why the pathetic malt barley price under 3$

answer well we price world price , less freight back to prairies.

well WTF ,i said make em pay world price plus freight back here. your the board where else can they get the barley.

could not do that , hurts getting value added industry here.

Contrast that with adding freight
to the gulf and then some to fert. made here .
i guess we don't add value to anything

federated coop should build a big ammonia and urea plant.

[bgmb]

farmers need to be like agrium and own the whole supply chain.

[bucket]

Good idea. But federated would show more market strength by buying about 4 boatloads of overseas fertilizer and shoving it right into the heart of the prairies.

Pioneer pre at .56 full yea real nice!

[Hopperbin]

Blackpowder perhaps one needs an on farm tank and redirect some of them loads. Any economics in it. Tanks are expensive plus the self filling or hauling.

[bgmb]

You are wrong bucket. The idea of coop bringing in fertilizer is stupid, logistics dont work to get it done in many cases. Instead of trying to lower the price for 1 year why not just build a plant and the distribution infrastructure and make money off it for decades.

[bgmb]

They know you have the cash sf3 ans they know you need to buy for tax.

[BTO_farmalll]

Costs around $120 Per Tonne To Make Nh3, And Thats Without Natural Gas Dropping Like a Rock The Passed Few Days!!!!!!!! Call The F'n Cops Already!!!!!!!!!!!

[bgmb]

Or invest in a plant and reap the rewards. We wont beat them but we can join them

[sawfly]

when farmers build their own plant.
then the others compete and drive you out of business.
because farmers would turn on their own
plant for 20$ a tonne.
with a new high cost plant ,
the old boys would undercut you till your ran out of business.
then its back to the printing money.
