FPC on Durum

[melvill]

SASKFARMER3, there is another issue regarding stateside delivery of durum. A Canuck farmer has to find a place to deliver it. My understanding is that US elevators have to bin Canadian wheat separately from local grain. Apparently, many are not willing or able to do that, so they won't take delivery. The other alternative would be to deliver directly to a miller.

Anyone know anything more about delivering Cdn grain to US elevators or directly to US millers?

Lee,

They will buy from us today. Many farmers in this area have taken samples down there and they would buy it now if they could. They will buy durum graded as a 3 and 4 here (58 to 60 pounds) for a guaranteed number 1. Where the CGC gets off cutting a number #1 durum off at 63 lbs is beyond me. But that is a debate for another day.

Melville They will buy what we have any day of the week, durum is Durum. And I have to Agree the CGC doesn't help Canadian farmers either. For years our grain has been probably graded the hardest any where in the world and for what premium. Ha the Frozen years of 02, 04 showed our farm how the CGC has no idea what produces a great final product. 100 cars of Heavy frozen wheat purchased locally and shipped to southern Ontario to a feed lot Wink Wink Wink.
Farmers have to wake up and see that the Canadian way works for every one else except the Farmer.
