    Well if gerry hadn't been caught ****ing a few of the animals below or acting like them .....farmers might have a better system today.

    2.1mmt floating at the west coast waiting for grain.

        The CWB was a powerful institution within Canada.We know not what the cost to wheat growers was for that power but Special Crops were at a distinct disadvantage with the "board" and in the fall and winter, we almost had to sell our wives to get a car, now not so. The Board ruled the roost and the railways danced to their tune. I don't think Ritz dealt with railways after the monopsony. Maybe the liberals will stand up for grain shippers. You think?

          Bucket I think there's more ships sitting than grain... all the guys we haul from are getting pretty much cleaned out...


          Either the crop wasn't as big or?

            Local 10000 tonne elevator can fill in 2 days after a train .... then sit for three weeks plugged.

            It doesn't get a train until the big sister at the end gets 112 car spot.

                I must have missed the memo where ships come to the west coast of canada to hang out.

                Plenty of nicer weather ports to sit in ...wouldn't you think?

                Those boats were contracted to be there for something?

                I get that ocean rates are in the shitter so demurrage might be less now as well?

                But there is a contract for grain to move in those ships?

                    Oooh! I like that.

                    Not as pointy. I am a little dulled at this time in my life.
