Sales reporting

[SASKFARMER]

I have said that since the beginning of Agriville. We need to know as farmers what's going on with Sales.

We are now like Mushrooms living on Bullshit and in the Dark.

I didn't catch the whole thing but Larry said someting about getting the ball rolling earlier and now we had to keep it going and not let it drift away.

He did a great job as always but I think we all have to point out that that money is what makes the whole economy go around and is especialy important in these Covid times to keep money going around localy.
Tell them what they want to hear and that everybody gets thier share.

Yes Larry did mention the CWB and how farmers were kept completely in the dark. Much like it is now but with grain companies.

Transparency or lack of, was one of the major topics in CWB debate and how markets were going to be so much more transparent in an open market. Some people just laughed others believed it would.

As an example, a farmer has 200000 bus of Canola probably is either out at 12 or has maybe 20% left.

If he knew in Fall sales were happening at such a strong amount he would hold back as long as he could.

Maybe 3/4 left to move at 16 or higher.

The cash difference is $440,000 extra in a farmer's pocket.

Just for knowing what the Grain Companies were doing.

We as farmers would spend that on STuff making the Canadian economy stronger. Now it goes to grain company profits. Most Private family companies.

Who compiles export documents or does anyone report exports? When we export, no one but ourselves is keeping track of those exports. SO how would it work? (The sales are GST exempt on account of export.)

Thanks larry !

Thanks for the kind words. I’m officially un-retired from being a media s lut until this is changed.
I've got one fight left in me and have chosen this one.

Last week, 750k to 1.5 MMT of wheat was sold to China from Canada.

Anyone hear about it on the news?

Nope , because Canadian politicians think they can hurt China by moving the Olympics....

I guess we just don’t have the sparkle of Justin’s socks!

When the Canadian media is reporting on the farmer woes in INDIA!!!!!!!!!

No farm group in Canada can get that kind of media coverage for Western Canadian farmers...its incredibly disappointing.
