Cuz Wheatnowcanola guys need to sell so they can walk into Cervus equipment with a suitcase full of cash to buy nice things so they can stay in "da club"

??? Do some on here keep using the u.s. price for dramatic effect? I feel sorry for you guys, i live in canada and get paid in canadian dollars. If you can't make money at 10.00-11.00 dollars grow something else, i'm gonna keep selling.

But, but, but, isn't that about what it's worth at Velva?

Until Bucket's dream of market transparency comes true, we will never really know what a decent price is if port prices are never disclosed. Futures can have premiums added to them if the buyer(not the middleman but end user) agrees. Remember the odd time when there were positive basis on top futures.

Then there is the Crunching Industry. Even the crush margin index has been called only an index/guide based on everything but the real canola oil
and meal, weird. But I guess a "gauge" is better than none....especially if it measures the same "related" byproducts consistently even though they aren't the right ones....oh well.

Ya but if price is higher at your local elevator then velva is irrelevant.

[farmaholic]

That was my point earlier....

I guess i'm slow on the uptake.

If my canadian made fertilizer was based off CDN$ then I would sell by grain happily without conversion.
Not to mention that new iron has gone into stratosphere. New combine, pickup and straight cutter, just hit $900k list. Oh I forgot, we are not allowed to consider being worthy of a new purchase. Those people are to be hated.

I don't think farming has ever been real easy. But it has been profitable and still is, look at the machinery across the province. It's been worse. I do feel for the farmers that have had bad weather problems though.

Anybody know the cost to build and operate a crush plant and refinery?

I think Richardson put about 200M into Yorkton. Capacity of
3,000 tonnes a day.
