Quote - "WHy aren't the Producer Direct Sales prices transparent and posted on the internet like PPO FPC DPC pricings? I have requested this for years."
Will ask CWB when I see them later this month.
For those who are lucky enough to do a DPC, the CWB made the following commitment:
Quote: "As part of the DPC operating guidelines, the CWB is also committed to keeping the spread between the DPC and the Producer Direct Sale (PDS) relatively narrow and stable with the proviso that under exceptional circumstances, the spread could be widened to protect grain that was required for the CWB marketing. This provision has never been exercised. The linkage between the PDS and the DPC provides farmers with the assurance that both the DPC and PDS will track the average price to cross border elevator prices for grain of similar quality. If the DPC price is low relative to an elevator across the border, then selling to the U.S. using the PDS should be attractive. Conversely, if the PDS is high relative to the cross border prices, then the DPC is also likely to be high"
