Exactly. See you and I could never work for the government - what would we do for the rest the year.

My understanding is that they get crop insurance
numbers in bulk.

I agree that not everyone is in crop insurance so
there is some extrapolation needed.

But even if you have those things bushel weight
alone swings things alot.

I had a 4400 bushel bin that I hauled that had over
5,000 bushels of barley on a year where my canola
is barely 50 lbs./bu.

My durum is 68.5 pounds per bu so bushels are not
bushels.

IMO, it would be a benefit to the country if the federal government unloaded Statistics Canada. They have no credibility with their recent results and we could use that $ elsewhere or to reduce taxes.

Or similar to what was mentioned earlier, Sask. crop ins. could be hired to administer or do the work for stats Can for western Canada. Could be another sourse of income for them. The numbers Stats Can gets from the farmers has got to a real mess.
In fact our grain buyers do have a much better idea what is out there although I like to quote less bushels to them also.
