    Yea, my contract is in Yorkton and now that I have priced over the 30bpa on the acres I had contracted they are stalling out on delivery using this excuse.
    Am I the only one?

      If I can show $100/acre profit on 30 bu why should I grow 100bpa for $100 profit.
      If everyone abandoned the fret co, and equipment dealers we would have more support as the gov seems to listen more when people are unemployed.

        If it's through RP..they had issues last yr where farmers were months behind delivery of nexera..
        We contracted with bunge this yr..
        As a rule they are very good for us on regular canola.

          For **** sakes, good thing we have that old plow and 28 run disc drill and that long faced old mare in the pasture!

          Gotta stay profitable for everyone else's benefit AT MY EXPENSE, **** me.

          They would steal those cost efficiency gains too.

          A hoe and five acres next?

            Okay that means it is either Pioneer or LDC than.

            With Bunge I believe the first 35 bpa was slated to move by end of May and remainder to go June through August.

            I might have to double check though.

                  I didn't know of this fine print bullshit until for whatever reason it wasn't convenient for them to take delivery.
                  Need to sell more than 30 bpa to really show much profit

                    Not sure what Yorkton does, Bunge crushes at Harrowby..Dates are set..

                    Better price for April..Than Dec..but that makes sense for carrying it that long..

                    Priced the first 30 b/a at $13.18 for next Dec..

                      I am tired of these one sided contracts, every time there is a glitch and delivery is delayed its my dime!
                      Apparently anything over 30 bpa nexxera can only delivered at there discretion.
                      Why cant we have a farmer sided contract that would compensate the farmer when shit don't get done?
                      Surely there is enough pencil pushing people milking us from their offices to draw up something to protect us.
                      Why cant something like this work in our favor?
                      We carry enough risk I think this would be a simple way to transfer some over to the parasites.
                      Thought you could add in anything you agreed to in contract. Then if your not happy you can get arbitrator.
