Turkish import tax.

Just out on Linseed oil ah countries learn so fast how to get shit from us for nothing.

Hey will Lentils be next.

The decision of the Turkish government to introduce a US$120/t import tax on linseed will have substantial repercussions on world trade flows of linseed and flaxseed in coming months, potentially resulting in higher than previously assumed imports and crushings primarily in the EU-28 and China, says Oil World.

But wait let's make sure our government does nothing while this gets bigger and bigger more commodities and more artificially low price.

Instead of tax their own people in these countries those governments are taxing us to sell our grain there. They re still buying it right????? While we pay their debts. Wow.

What a great thing for Canadian businesses that have operations there.....they can continue to buy Canadian product at a reduced rate and their profit goes up...


I guess that's how you get named businessman of the world...

Actually this is a tax on their own individual consumption and may or may not change the amount of consumption of a particular product in a particular country. I am starting to believe that long term imports of peas in India for instance may not change much. Just supports internal acreage at the loss of another crop. If 60 cents red lentils on a canadian grower basis didn't change their production practices and direct acreage i am not sure this will.

Competition we face from Black Sea is a seperate issue though.

I don't know, the rabi crop is not even planted yet. Their numbers are never that accurate. Hard country to get accurate results on acreage or production because it is 5 ac farms. I look more at what they are buying or not buying in this case.

Marlene is a little pissed at our federal ag minister ...what's his name? .....

Someone getting caught on the wrong end of this dispute.....do you think farmers or the middleman will be listened to?

My guess is neither because Trudeau's gang doesn't acknowledge agriculture. ....

Oh come on Bucket. The Ag made minister did talk about Ag once.....and when he did he was explaining how a carbon tax would be good for agriculture. 🙈

What a moron.

All the negative comment about grain prices and the marketing system might make us think that grain farming is not profitable.
Do not see that to be the case for many of us these past few years and think fears for future are overblown.
Interesting to see reports on crop and revenue insurance payouts.

Grain prices are the same as they were in the 70s dollar wise but not value wise if you talking about profitable.?


....an auger costs more than a super b of grain .....in the 70s you could buy a half ton with 300 bushels of grain...today it would take 6 super Bs or more....

6 dollars in the 70s is worth nearly 30 today....
