Holllly,
Grain companies are building storage at port so they can commoditize and profit, speculate against current and forwRd sales opportunities. They are not the farmers friend ( suppliers), their friends are the buyers (customers) I hope every one can figure that one out.

Grain bin sales have never been stronger in Australia, usa, canada etc, this is a good thing! Imagine what the price for, durum, peas, lentils, barley, etc would be if we could ship it all to the ports in two months. This only works if there are hedging mechanisms or grain exchanges, futers that are actively used by every one. Winnipeg exchange is an example for a lot of issues

What Canada is missing is infrastructure, with full public (commercial) access

Bin are a long term for nvestment like land, amortize them over 25 years instead of the stupidity of a 3 year lease, that’s why they are expensive

Bins should be 100 percent deductible with zero recapture....for the benefit of the country for storing the world's grain.

I would like to thank CNH for encouraging me to practice up on my stainless Tig welding skills. The factory 4"flex pipe broke after the turbo with under 1000hrs, your local depot has 23 in stock but for $2100 they can rot there. I was able to purchase a 1 foot lengh of stainless flex for $17.00 from Fort Garry. A couple hours of fabing and better than new.
