FX in grain marketing

And the spokesman is helping them achieve their goals.

I think he got all the conservatives MPs staff and gave them a quick tutorial from his book.

Seems they are on side with the graincos explanation of the large discrepancy in prices.

Saskfarmer, How do you come up with those numbers?

Why isn't the complaining happening in other crops? Canola? Oats?

Ask depp to explain the margins since he is aligned with them!
It's a very simple question how much have their margins gone up the last two years?

"discrepancy"?

Based on prices you posted here, the spread between Moose Jaw and some place in ND is 50 cents CAD.

You said $1.00 but really it's not. Your prices - 5.75 to 6.00 in Moose Jaw, 6.50 in ND.

If you're shopping, the 5.75 is a non-starter, so really it's between 6.00 in Moose Jaw and 6.50 in ND.

That's about $18.37/tonne. What would it cost to drive past Moose Jaw and keep on truckin' down to ND? Probably not far off the $18. Set me straight if I'm wrong.

If that's true, your net price back on the farm is pretty close to the same to either buyer.

Looks to me that the market is working.

John, can you start this thread again since it doesn't bump at all to top.

Dep maybe explain it again were kind of slow out west.
Explain how grain company margins have increased from 25 to 35 to 90 to 125. Please show us again.
And show where the money is coming from?
Thanks
