Canada hasn't shipped barley to S Arabia for over 3 and a half years

That was after the bobblehead Freeland making comments???

- 30 again this morning and that is just darn good barley burning weather right here in Canada. You don't have to worry about putting any on a boat if it did this for a month or two.

Canada and Russia have moved to join Australia’s World Trade *Organisation dispute with China as third parties, raising concerns over the legal and global trade impacts of Beijing’s tariffs on Australian barley exports.

Despite major barley-producing nations benefiting from Australian farmers being frozen out of the Chinese market, they have formally requested to join WTO talks after Canberra launched action last month.

Canada, a key Five Eyes security partner that has experienced heightened tensions with China, told the WTO it had a “substantial trade interest” in the barley dispute. “Given the significant amount of trade in barley between Australia and China, China’s trade remedies measures could have *effects on global trade in barley more generally, including impacts on Canadian barley,” its government submission said.

Saudi's not talking to Canada.

China not talking to Australia

World trade patterns not necessarily logical or well thought-out due to political agenda's and egos.

Yet I heard recently that Saudi Arabia is buying dehydrated corn silage from Olds in Central Alberta. Doesn't seem like the most energy or cost efficient method, or location.

Not sure how well that is going. From driving by it appears the silage pit they made in 2019 is still full plus 2020.

How could they possibly compete with corn silage from, almost anywhere else on the globe? Couldn't hardly get further from port. All the gas and electricity and diesel fuel getting it trucked in and dehydrated, and trucked or railed out will include the CO2 taxes. Not exactly the heart of corn country, even for silage, our season is of questionable length, frozen corn, or corn with no ears, or corn under snow are not issues that Iowa regularly deals with.

They can’t need that much corn silage if the area around Olds can supply what they need. I don’t think I’ve seen half a dozen corn fields put up as silage around there. Unless they’re all west of town..... doubtful 😂
