So in a crop failure farmer would lose half the money he would have lost.
In an average crop the farmer would make only half as much profit.
In the longer term a farmer should make a profit. Especially if he already has an average 35 bu/acre history for canola.
A new farmer would not even qualify because he does not have the history to back up his yield data unless he can use his fathers or the corporations history.
If I was a father with a son contemplating using agstreams service then I would be worried.

If their is a father son relation ship and the son is contemplating using these guys. DAD give him half the inputs and then in fall take half his crop JUST TO PROVE A POINT. Then give it back later just before Christmas. Its a life lesson Better coming from family than these leaches.
Bloodsuckers.

Cotton, you got your first post changed.

Lifer I think I can speak for most. We are afraid of non farmer investment in agriculture if they take away our profits from our Cinderella crop.

You will have to enlighten me with struggle with shorts but on another thread and hopefully without the four letter friend getter.

My knowledge of the futures market says that for every buyer (potential long), there is a seller (potential short) in a transaction. I say potential because may be exiting the futures position in which case volume is good. Some may also hold a position in the physical market (inventory to sell/plan on growing or have a requirement to purchase at some point in the future - position even in the market or hedged. Maybe our definition of shorts and longs is different.

The head guy from Pipestone was just on Yorkton Radio with his dream, Here is it in a NUT SHELL> Same as Custom Cattle feeders.
HM any one who goes with this kind of group have fun your days as a owner operator are numbered.

Our definitions are not different just our knowledge of the broad market.

I doubt i post even 10% of what i actually think is happening market wise(been ridiculed enough).

Thanks for the input. I am somewhat nervous of losing the land base, but I think I will have to negotiate a different split somehow. Surely 35% would be enough expense to show for the tax man. Hell I'd even take a hefty raise in my cash rent, no risk to him but I think it's all an accounting thing that he's more concerned about.

Appreciate your opinions, thanks again.
