Mallee:

Here is what distance to port is doing to prices of CWRS #1-13.5 the further inland you go, and I am in just about the worst place possible.
Which I would like to state is no one's fault before skmeone bites off my head and shits down my throat.

Closest to me and going west to the mountain's.
Not exactly sure which oligopoly rail line serves which delivery points for sure.

All Jan prices All the same GrainCo

Balgonie, 6.46
Moose jaw, 6.52
Swift Current, 6.68
Gull Lake, 6.75
Brooks, 6.89
Crossfield 7.03

"Specials" of 7.25 at Brooks and Crossfield

So we wait in the interior for the stuff closest to port to be scooped up first.
And hope those "specials" reach us.
They will pull grain from their highest margin areas first....and why shouldn't they?

Crossfield V is seriously struggling. Staffing issues and new elevators popping up like daisies, plus a new track and site upgrades causing slowdowns at an elevator already renowned for lines... they need specials just to try and get grain.


Also, this is applicable to all grain companies... if they have your 1,2 or 3 red in store and a feed mill or lot will pay more for it... they’ll also be selling it for feed. Just because they buy it as a 1 doesn’t mean it’ll go as a 1, just like because you grew a 1 doesn’t mean you’ll sell a 1.

G3 Colonsay?

That is decent price for the middle of Saskatchewan. I should check out G3 at Pasqua by Moose Jaw.

Blaithin you probably know what changed at Viterra Crossfield about a year ago and why things have changed, I’ll be polite and not say.

Did you work there at one time?

If anyone delivered to Moose Jaw then they’ll know what happened to Crossfield Lol

Yes, I left just over a year ago

Yes it was

Around here feed barley is roughly $5.60 at the bin right now, that translates to $7.00 a bushel for feed wheat. Definitely better to sell CPS into the feed market at present. Most grain companies still higher for #1 13.5 hard red.

Let me guess, the star employee left and took her chickens with her at that time? Been all downhill since then?

It’d be nice to think that but it was already going downhill before I left.
