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

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.

Canola is a very important cash flow crop in the parkland. Kind of like Iceman is describing. They need to grow canola to make cash flow. When you grow 60-70 bushels per acre , you can tolerate a less desiresble market price and still have acceptable profit.
Volume will get a farmer through times of low prices or poor quality.
Volume will also launch a farmer in times of high prices and good quality. So volume is the common denominator. We are all trying to grow good yield crops to make profit. It doesnt always work out as planned which makes farming a challenging occupation.
