Buyers of Flax close to Saskatoon

[Klause]

Every elevator should be allotted or own their spot available cars....

112 cars should be sitting loaded with grain ready for a boat .....I call it dynamic storage.....ready to go at a moments notice....

Would add 10000 tonnes capacity to every prairie terminal.

When the loaded cars are picked up empties are dropped off.

Loads with what though ?


Sales happen. Having 110 cars of wheat sitting there when a order for peas comes in...

Think (hope) they have better logistics than that. Right now there is about 26 ships waiting at port. I would think the grain co's know what to put in them.

Surely when an elev empties a bin they know what they are going to refill it with for next shipment. They have contracts with farmers. Maybe that is the issue nobody in the whole system has a clue what is going on.

The only time there would be a problem is when elev ship wrong grade or commodity. Maybe happens more than we know. Grain is graded different at each elev when we deliver maybe same is happening when they ship.

The only reason there is 2.5 mmt of floating space is because demurrage is not costing them a whole bunch.

As far as a sale showing up ....that would be great then the full cars would get pulled....they would load them for their sales....


And as far as I am concerned the system in place now is a cluster****.....no reporting...no spot deliveries which completely ****s up your futures. ......

What grain is that 2.5 mmt waiting for?

Usually around 50,000 tonnes per ship

Richardson at Reed Lake may do immediate. They just shipped some out last week. Check with Ilta in Swift, as well as ETG Commodities. Can get you some numbers if needed.

I got the flax delivered today
What a day to deliver flax and pick up some Pea seed.
I delivered it to ILTA Saskatoon close the Cory potash mine.
I had to pick up some Registared Pea seed at Ardell seeds so it worked out good they are pretty close to each other👍😀
