Why?????.....

[bucket]

Why can you easily get a cash price on an American elevator website and most don't post their cash bids on Canada. ?

[mustardman]

And why is Durum spot price in Montana 10.15 Canadian and here it's $ 7.75 ??

[farming101]

Why indeed...usually companies that don't have internet prices are not worth phoning either

Producer; "what are you paying for #1durum 13.8 protein?"

Marketing Rep; "whose calling and how many tonnes do you have?"

[MBgrower]

no published country gran prices, no publish port basis, no govt reports on weekly sales volumes, and values, Stat Can threatens farmers if we don't tell them our seeded acreage, production and grain inventories.

the Canadian way.

[SASKFARMER3]

Its a Hush Hush Hush In Canada Nothing to see just move along mr dumb farmer.

Its a F#$King gong show.

Were Getting it in the Ass every day and we let it happen.

I am weak on freight costs but, for $2.00+ a bushel is it worthwhile to send some uniform bin samples and possibly deliver stateside?
What is the downside if you follow through with good product?
The upside I see is you Add a little profit , earn a new customer and learn about selling stateside.
It is worth your time?

Sf3 ...as much as I enjoy your weekly updates....it seems there is no reciprocal information back from the industry that reads these comments. ...nor is there any value in weekly crop reports from provincial ag departments when the industry provides nothing...

There has been a loaded train sitting at a local for two weeks....why?


At another head office won't tell them what to put in the cars been there for a week.....

The system is backing up and the excuses are not acceptable .....

But please Mr farmer tell us everything down to the color of every ****ing kernel. ....

Stop complaining. Harper gave you marketing freedom. Now bend over and enjoy it!

[bucket]

This isn't what I asked for ....I wanted a transparent market with the same reports the US farmer has....


My MP ignored it and the MLAs don't understand SFA....



on a different topic ...I call the provincial ag minister office occasionally to see what they are doing about irrigation.....nothing they answer and yet CBC reports differently....why does the government lie to a direct question from a life long Saskatchewan resident?

Hate to say it again, but Harper dismantled everything, washed his hands of farmers, farm programs, government controls, everything he could dump. Back long before any of our times, farmers got so pizzed at getting nothing for their grain that the Wheat Pool was founded. In those days farmers had very little but still they pulled it off. Guess we aren't so pizzed yet.

In a wide scale drought like we have seen this year, should government and media be sitting back being mute? I haven't heard a boo out of our "Agriculture Minister", do we have one?

Not ever in history did we see no response to farmer's plight. There would have been hay hauling subsidies, water development programs, a show of support for farmers, even if only token. These big shots blew it all on carbon capture, overpasses, stadiums, hubs and now not a boo. There only response - rob crop insurance! Agriculture, our back bone industry was booted to the curb.

Let's build it up again! I heard something about, "The World Without Canada" ?

There's my rant for the day.

Lyle Stewart and Lawrence Macauley should be in old folks homes....FFS...

Does a young farmer take these guys seriously.....it's like having your urban uncle come out to the farm at seeding and harvest....ducking morons....

What's worse they gave environment to Stewart. ...where are the young bucks in the sask party....geezus....

We get daily texts from RP and Viterra reps.on their prices.
Viterra guy sends specials and premiums before they hit website.
RP higher on canola.viterra higher on cereals for the last few months.

[sumdumguy]

It's the Old Boys Club - Founding members, you know!

[bucket]

Sure I like the viterra app....it's quick and easy but why doesn't g3 post their cash bids on their website tab....

PH sends a daily. ...

Cargill??????

And others when you hear the name you should be able to get an idea without subscribing....

Free info for them every week in the form of a radio provincial report but SFA from their closely guarded pricing formulas. ...stupid.

There are days I don't need or want to talk to a rep about prices just a quick review of locals to know where things are trending.
