""""The port G3 is building honestly doesn't need to be built when you look at our production, elevator space, and domestic use......"""""

A 2013 episode is happening on the west coast right now and we don't need more port space???....Churchill is retired so others have to make up some of that ....plus higher trend line yields ....

I question some people's thinking.....

Exactly. " will eventually provider a rail link" we have been hearing that for decades already. But even Chinese investment will dry up during periods of extremely low commodity prices. No doubt it will happen, but likely not in the time frame many are expecting.

AF5: China already has established a US$20 billion fund for railway work in Brazil and is currently accepting proposals for projects.

As of 2 years ago China had already purchased 12 million acres of farmland in Africa. It is only a matter of time until they build the infrastructure to bring these lands into production. Maybe not in the next few years, but it will happen a lot quicker than you think.

It has also been reported in major media that China has secured long term 50 year lease of millions of acres of Ukraine farmland and is leasing Russian, Laos, and Cambodian farmland.

Chinese investment is agriculture is already well established and this is the customer we have been told is critical to our farming industry.

But is the issue port space or rail ways?

Looking at port and what is planned for expansions on the existing Vancouver terminals that should in a normal year handle what we grow. Especially so with the new and expanded crush plants in Canada and the new elevators either shipping directly to the US or just over the border attached to a main US line.

Churchhill was a joke. 186,000mt of grain shipped is less than one elevator yearly shipping. Back in the day it did pretty good when the CWB just brought grain in and sat on it.

Lots of complaints regarding how we keep pushing yield up for no reason. There is a reason. When the price is really good you want to ensure you have as many bushels to sell as possible. Even if the price sucks having more bushels is better than less. Until we can predict to a T what the prices of commodities will be it's always better to have more than less.

I'm all for more port space. But looking at it from a realistic perspective both port and elevator space are going to be overbuilt in the next 5 years. Elevator space already so in some places.

I guess farmers have built bins and will continue to outpace the industry in storage space....people are sadly mistaken that this system is working well when an individual a mile outside moose jaw has built more storage than the majors that have been there for 75 years. ...

That's good for him and I hope he can make it payoff. But the comparison between farmer storage and elevator storage are very different things.

Say a 25,000mt elevator gets one 10,000 train every 3 weeks that is equal to 180,000mt of storage in reality over the year. And honestly most elevators are shipping closer or higher than 250,000mt of grain per year.

Having the ability to be flexible is something that can pay off greatly so I still think having storage for at least 3/4 of your average crop is a good idea.

There is likely not more than half a dozen elevators in all of Manitoba shipping 250,000 or more a year
In 2015-16 there were half a dozen points, some with more than one elevator , that did 250K

26 points in SK and 30 in Alberta in 2015-16

Has reports on growing canola, how to do it, how it's good for the land... how it's more profitable than Trigo (wheat).


Oh Boy.

Is omega 9 low linoleic canola?

Not a real heavy crop but with different economics on seed, equipment etc. Nothing saying it isn't a paying crop for them.
