Wheat basis

[sawfly1]

no transparency is what you got.
harper and ritz did the grain co.s bidding.

no requirement to post sale prices

so it is whoever voted for them .
they are to blame

Wheat out of Vancouver is 9 bucks and durum is ten....


Now minus what you get here and the basis is about minus 80 a tonne.


PNW prices converted to cdn is a reflection of prices.


Also watch the tender prices for wheat sales....ripped off here in the prairies....yup but the odd guy is getting more than everyone else which is OK.

If you live in Alberta you get more since freight is less and companies are moving grain because it's a shorter haul to export.

Nothing magical.

Everytime I hear a brokers picked up price....I know we are getting ****ed....they are paying themselves and a trucker and driving past 8 terminals....

Some other problems with our system....if a farmer signs a contract now for Sept delivery for 100 tonnes no one orders a car for that delivery.....they can't.

It's stupid.

Some grain cos could have booked trains but who wants to preplan or schedule.


Most of that isn't the grain cos fault but you would think they would lobby for changes for logistics.
