Tom on that comment your full of shit. From 2002 we binned and used that seed for a lot of years. Elevators said they would pay us F#$K all for it because it was poor. Funny best germinating and produced awesome crops in 2003 and then the 2004 frost we did the same.
Sorry man your not telling the whole story.

Yep sf3, tom is full of it.

I remember buying certified ac barrie wheat. I took a sample to the elevator and they said it was frozen and wouldn't make a feed grade.

But it was certified seed so I grew it and it turned out ok.

You sell certified seed , right Tom? You know the ins and outs of making poor grain certified? It's probably why you can quote scriptures so well as you ask forgiveness every Sunday. Lol.

[checking]

When you are the preacher, bucket, you don't have to wait until Sunday to forgive yourself. It's why Tom can respond immediately. Not laughing.

Couple things...
1) for new crop, there are still 12 months to market it! Leaving PLENTY of time to take advantage of a rally or two.
2) a "drought ravaged" crop in western canada, on its own, has little if any impact whatsoever on the world market. It never has and never will!

My two cents.

[SASKFARMER3]

I agree our spot in the world productions and f$&k all but I think the USDA is out on their spring wheat forcast

[helmsdale]

Which will provide ample opportunity later in the marketing year when final #s start coming in.

Pardon me but when I check germ; low germ is almost always caused by frost damage. Light bran frost sometimes ok... Just depends if wheat was mature when the frost damaged the kernel.
Ask any seed lab.
Not this topic so don't kill the messenger... Your offensive attitude speaks for you.

Tom

If that's pointed at me - thank you.

And in kind I find your lobbying offensive.

[Mjolnir]

I think you owe Tom an apology bucket. You do realize that the grading standards for seed are different than for grain in the elevator system right?
You sure like to bitch and moan about anyone and everything though I get the feeling your the kind of guy that wouldn't even volunteer to sit on the board of your local library if asked.
Get a grip FFS.

Tom

I apologize.

I have been an rm councillor. Not that it counts. I do try to talk to my MP and express my concerns and offer solutions.

Not much luck there either.

[bucket]

BTW Mjolnir I called the cbc to interview Tom about his hunger strike.

So I do see the merits of some of Tom's intentions. Just don't agree with him on this.

But I still enjoy the discussion.

I really have to work on the way I express my opinion.
