Canadian Elevator Company meets China's canola rule!

[SASKFARMER]

Sorry if China wants 1% then we give them 1%.
But do like they do to us charge them a cleaning fee if they don't like it F&)k them it's really simple!
They play games we bend over always so maybe once just call their bluff.

But this is Canada the price will be adjusted down to the farmer and middle man and China will get what they want.

Great trade partner!

Yes export buyers pay for dockage, why else would the linecos add it back? otherwise it would be dead ocean freight.

Commercially clean for canola allows for 2.5% dockage. So grain co can sell to X country for lets say $500 per tonne fob vancouver and they will get paid for all the tonnes dock included as long as its "commercially clean"

At least thats the way I understand it.

So elevator buys off farmers at an average of 2.5, its really 1.0 when it is graded at port so they add 1.5 of shit back in and Chinese are sick of buying 1.5% shit. Cant blame them I guess.

I fail to see how it is helping our cause to post on a public forum about ports adding dockage back in. I don't know if it is true, and doubt that it is, but are we adding ammunition to our buyers by propagating this rumour? Or does someone have evidence? Same for the people claiming to spray off label etc. Anyone could read this, in any country. I doubt Agriville is banned in China?

Altafarm5....it's not the Producer's practices that are under scrutiny here. But sure as hell is going to affect us!

[AlbertaFarmer5]

I'm concerned about the producers spreading a rumour about grain company practices which probably isn't true. But is affecting us, as you say.

[farmaholic]

Maybe the CGC could shed some light on the subject?

[SASKFARMER3]

I'm just saying follow the money.

It's always about the money!

But us farmers will pay!
