Bloomberg:“Russian wheat is far cheaper,”

[Oliver88]

Tom, how does Penhold yield?

How would you estimate its revenue per acre compares to a HRS variety such as Cardale?

[sumdumguy]

We are too far from our market to compete when supply is hefty on the other side of the world. There's only so many perogies being eaten to utilize our wheat.

[wmoebis]

That is why we offer cleaner/higher quality WHT as an insentive to buy ours.
Lose that we may lose market share.

Edm East on 5.5" from seeding to harvest close to Penhold 70 bu/ac average on 600ac harvested.

You might think the conservatives are doing a good job for you but locally my closest point gets missed for spots regularly.

They have added more costs to my farm to the benefit of yours.

Glad you are blinded by idealogy and keep your blinders on. Your conservative mps count on that type of support.

Tom are you sure your not a liberal? Cause I m certain you must be smoking drugs sometimes.

Getting rid of the cwb means quicker payment. It has also meant terrible delivery options less trains for other grains to many out of the way terminals.

Wheat is dead unless it's feed purposes. If you want to talk politics. The optics if getting rid of cwb were good just like bombing in the Middle East but the reality without a plan they both ended up creating cluster fs in both events.
Very poor governing. And people are realizing this everywhere on every issue.

Good points.

While I agreed with getting rid of the cwb. Selling it to an end user made no sense.

They don't have to use any market exchange for price determination.

But it still makes no sense for canada to be fighting a middle east war as an expense while the Saudis build assets in canada. If potash was worth protecting as a strategic resource many ag should be as well.

CPS Red Penhold or Conquer could be looking at.

Welcome to the new face of competition, better hope efficiency and lower cost handling and shipping starts to enter the industry. Eroding farm values as a chief source of global competition will not be enough; welcome industry to a whole new arena.

A new big NH combine today is around $750,000 cdn. There may be reality checks on more then just farms in the coming years.

Bucket,

Bunge DOES use futures on the vast majority of Canola bought... and they provide "Act of God' protection on 1/3 of Nexera Canola Contracted. Plus they pay the freight to Crush Plant door.

Dealing with end users is great; they are a wonderful part of our farm. We see what is needed... and respond to make the best product for them. Seeking Value is the key to healthy marketing relationships. On both sides.

Riders,

Don't need to smoke dope... enjoy being a farmer... growing good food for a hungry world is fun!

Now with the CWB monkey off my/our families back... and freedom for our family farm,,, we can work to create value for our families and friends next generation!

Why my forefathers started here in 1881!

Thanks for the insults... guess increase your satisfaction when pushing the 'Submit" button!

Bless you!
