Winter wheat price to bring you down

[Fransisco]

So what is the root of all money?

[cottonpicken]

Your a master of spin fran.

All time record high durum and your glad you didnt grow any?

The winter wheat price is bad?

Keep your arguements focused.

CP,

I agree with Fran, he would have lost much more $ if he had grown Durum!

A buck is not near as bad as 3!

Just try to sell durum to the feed market!

[Fransisco]

Takes one to know one Cotton.

All time record highs? Yes. But not to Canadian producers. The yanks are beating us by a mile in this race. But go ahead, keep your CWB blinders on and keep telling yourself you're the one whose getting the best price.

It's not like we're competing with every other farmer in the world from one of the most heavily taxed and regulated jurisdictions on the planet now are we?

[Fransisco]

By the way I prefer 'arguments'. What are 'arguements'?

And they are focused. On the PRICE DIFFERENCE, on how much IS BEING LEFT ON THE TABLE.

I didn't say anything about whether or not they are lousy. Try reading the sentences instead of between the lines.

[cottonpicken]

And what percent of your future grain sales would you have already sold at a lower level?

None of you even managed to see this coming??????????

[lohner]

I'll admit this, I sold too much '07 canola at lower prices than todays.
BUT I accept responsibility for it as I will not find an employee or consultant who will.
I accept the other side of the sword that allows me to make all contract arrangements with end user.
I can sell '08 and '09 crop at $9.30.
without permission or extra third party legal hoops.
I also admit I was forced to sell '05 crop for $5.50. But I lost more money on my wheat because of this "impermeable layer".
If "average" was the most successful the world would be an identical place.

FREE WINTER WHEAT!!!!

IT IS TIME THAT ONLY WINTER WHEAT GROWERS VOTE TO REMOVE THE CWB "SINGLE DESK" on WINTER WHEAT!

[Fransisco]

Cotton you either just don't get it or are intentionally trying to change the subject, it's called distraction and its not going to work here.

It's not the where the price is at, it's not how much someone sold when, its the difference between board and non board prices.

I suppose if your neighbor just bought the exact same pickup truck as you at exactly the same time but paid $5000.00 less you'd want to change the subject as well.

[sawfly]

it is very disturbing to see the price differance across the border.
and possibly the entire cdn.winter wheat crop could go into the US market and not create a ripple. or backlash.

but the HRS and durham crops , if either sold across the border,or marketed thru their exchanges , would have a huge effect.

these numbers are equal or larger than the total exportable US supplies

So we want the CWB gone.
What happens then?
does a free flow of grains exist across the border ,without tarrifs or volume limits.

Does cdn grain have to have its own exchange if the borders are closed or restricted.

now canada has its own durham & HRS exchange, cdn grain co.s ship our grain to the coast for export at whatever the world price is. they bid on cdn exchange to get supplies.

You may or may not get the US price.

im not saying its a bad thing , just if some of the industry intune people could explain how it would actually play out or function.

what would the new system look like and how would it deliver or not for example a Minn. DNS price?
