A couple of quick questions on the producer direct sales through the CWB.
1) Will the CWB offer a forward price on a direct producer sale or do you have to deal in the spot market? Example - I am an organic farmer and I have agreed to sell a miller somewhere in the world a container of 1CWRS wheat every two months at a set price till the end of July (say 6 months)? Working through the buyback program, will the CWB provide producer direct sales prices this far out so I can capture the margins/manage my price risk (realizing I am still exposed to any changes in the pool returns)?
2) Does the PDS documentation require me to provide both sales destination and buyer? What about price? Will the CWB price descriminate on a PDS sale? Example, if I were shipping containers to an off shore subject to subsidies/more intense competition (the CWB may already be a seller at a lower price), would I get a different PDS price than if I were selling to a domestic miller?
3) Has anyone ever heard of or done a PDS sale to a domestic processor
