Times r a changin. Amerikie's got some
huge problems, lots and lotsa guns and
guys and girls that know how ta use em.
They have youngsters that have returned
from conflicts and r now outta the

get settled wit firearms.
Think of the weirdest thing you kin
think of and I can assure you that its
already happened in the us of a at least
twice! Pretty scary eh....

Good Post, this is unfortunately only
the beginning, tip of the ice berg so to
speak. 2012 produced a short crop in
Western Comedia, hence good prices and
competition amoung multies. Just wait
till a normal year returns, then the
true picture will emerge. All of us
sellers have been fed the same BS that
Eric has, at elevators time and time
again. F Gag minister ritz and his
ostrich fram. Can't wait fer them ta
get a taste of the upcoming Class Action
suit which may result in a
$17,000,000,000 payout to Comedian Bored
supporters. Heil Harper

Eric go crawl back under your rock. "Your truck is to small we only take semi's" give me a break.....

Farmers get what they deserve. Eric is a typical
farmer. He can see things that are wrong he
talks about them in detail to many in the
industry. He goes as far as to publish his
opinion. He provides no independant thought
towards a solution or even an effort to help
himself.
He will get exactly what he deserves. Smart
enough to write newspaper articles but too
stupid to fax in a producer car application to
load with his small truck.
I hope it all jeats on him. Then he sells it for
feed at a severe discount which wont matter
because broker doesnt pay him anyway. Those
events alone can make him a living writing
articles blaming everyone but himself.

IDLE NO MORE, take the foot off the clutch and hammer down!

Good one Dogpatch ;-)


"Sorry only semi loads, no smaller grain trucks! "

Ya right! What kind of credibility he gave up with a statement like that. I have delivered to large high throughput elevators many times with a less than full, single axle truck. Never once did I get an ill reaction. Because no matter if it is 6 tonnes, or 46 tonnes, business is business.

In fact the grumpiest I have seen an elevator staff in a long time was late this afternoon when I pulled in with a Super-B load of Canola. But I suspect it had more to do with the fact it was 4:30 Friday afternoon, and everyone just wanted to get home and start the weekend. He fails to realize the folks who buy grain are more motivated by personal issues like this, than whether you arrive in a C-50 or CH613.

I wonder why this writer never questions the large price differential that existed between the Northern US elevators and the CWB for decades, and then when the single desk dissolved, so did that differential. We are talking Billions of dollars lost to this alone. I find it funny how some choose to ignore it. And don't get me started on how they withheld sales forcing farmers to store Durum for years during periods of high world prices.

It also irritates me with the lack of sensitivity and arrogance clearly exposed in most of the the replies above.

I could relate how not many years ago a supposedly large; "respected" line elevator company started to accept CWB winter wheat on my CWB contract. And because they had started the bin with #2 grade (which was never mentioned prior to requesting delivery); the trucker/owner noticed that the bushel weight exceeded #1 specs; no other degrading factors could be found etc. (ATACK COMES AT THIS POINT now a purist would say it had to be expressed a grams per hectoliter but I say thats worse than measuring with a micrometer and then splitting with an axe).......

Back to the actual story. Elevator manager says its going into the #2 bin and expresses concern; ending quite bluntly by saying "Thats it you're cut off, Only room for #2). You'll get paid for #1 for the delivered loads. and turns his back on customer.

I'll be the first to admit that everyone I know could tell their own unique story that shows ignorant disregard for fair dealing. Only those who have every base covered are immune to suprises. And not all my friends; and a wide array of those I converse with; are as stupid as myself; or are such insignificant producers.

Now as for the person who has been quoted above and also who has been soundly attacked for relating what no doubt has occured........ I personally sincerely respect and congratulate him for being brave enough to bring his points to the publics attention. And unlike other apologists and attack dogs; I have unfortunately never met this person to my knowledge. He deserves much better than the disgusting repulsive reception from classless (expletives will not be printed)
