March Canola calls

[farming101]

There is something wrong in the trade here boys and girls. I phoned 6 outlets today within an hour of my place. $17 canola and none able to take a spot delivery. Durum too. Plugged full. April next movement. Says they are still trying to rail out the january contracts yet.

Somethings off here and it sounds like our system is part of it.

Earlier Bucket was saying it was slow going in his area.
Between Feb 7 and 14 primary elevator stocks went down 350,000 tonnes. 80% of what they call working capacity.

Maybe I can convince the wife yet, that dropping 40K into repairs for the combine last fall was a good idea?

Or rebuilding the C15 in my Pete last January was a good idea?

How is parts availability/pricing these days?

I'm reporting this obvious instance of systematic racism to Chuck.
Why are commodity prices (good for farmers) white, and inputs(bad for farmers) black?
Why are Asians and Latinos completely unrepresented ?
And absolutely no explicit reference to genders.

Well that's that.
Just a few contracts left in the March.
First delivery day cleared out most of them. 799.20/tonne.

Mar 3: The last 99 are gone. 814.70 settlement price
