We don't want US markets--just similar prices.When their price is not subsidised,what is stopping our 'system' from bringing us equal prices?One thing;cwb straitjacket.

Its not complicated;ther's a dam at the border.More grain behind the dam BECAUSE of the cwb dam means lower prices.
Always has,always will.

That is all it has ever done.Thats its true purpose.Fact is,thats all it CAN do.

winwin,

The dam is around each "designated area" wheat and barley growers farm.

If I am to grist(mill)my own wheat or barley... I am to report it to the CWB.

Wheat prices here in UK are on fire. Been offered £150/tonne March 08 feed wheat. March 07 was £94 March 06 £70.

Milling premium £20-£30 extra

[Fransisco]

ianben are those in your pocket prices? No extra deductions, transportation or other costs?

[Fransisco]

£150/tonne March 08 feed wheat, and according to the Bank of Canada one of our Canuck bucks is worth .47 Pound sterling.

That works out to $319.00 per tonne or $8.68 per bushel Canadian!!

Am I missing something here? Are the tonnes the same?

[ianben]

Yes £150 in the bank 28days after delivery. metric tonne. min 72kg/hl. 15% moisture. Sorry there is small deduction for HGCA levy 30p/tonne and charge for weighing about £7/load.

All I can say is, wow! That's a hellofa price for feed wheat.
