Zero canola stocks...no problem.

[furrowtickler]

I would say it’s a wake up call for the industry for fudging stocks as long as they did and saying there will be record crops year after year after year.
It’s their job to buy as cheap as possible but they finally got caught .
Predictions of huge crops before seeding reminds me of predictions of an ice free Arctic by 2020 ... oh wait .. it’s 2021
It all needs to be taken with a grain of salt , but when false predictions cost farmers money is lower crop values or higher than necessary carbon tax’s it a problem.
But it’s always finger pointing and excuses after the fact with zero accountability to lost revenue for us.
Agree partners , lets just hope for an average crop and see where the chips fall now . Prices are decent but will need a crop to capitalize. Until that happens , high crop prices mean little other than increased costs in the meantime.

My crop tour is extensive enough and covers sask fairly well. It’s more than 120 km and odd piss break. Plus I grow canola and have on our farm since early 70s. We have seen shit, awesome, hailed, drought flood. Plus awesome and ****ing awesome.

In a office or satellite or my farmers tell me this from the tractor with GPS is bullshit. Also 8 weeks zero rain and heat during flowering and windy doesn’t make for big yields.

we knew better but still buckled and sold canola in june for $10.50
anyone that didn't know at swathing time was simply lying or stupid

Anyone think Neil Townsend could explain a record canola crop last year and 60000 tonnes being brought into Canada this year?

Traders say they have never seen a trade like this on canola.

I sometimes wonder if a sales reporting program wouldn't help the graincos avoid this as well..

Sale of Ukrainian Canola coming to Canada in August. So some crusher isn't pissing around with shut down they will continue to crush. Canadian farmers get screwed on the fall price. This whole market was screwed with the comments last few years on massive crop and Canola 2020 wall-to-wall canola program.

it was all about building up crushers and seed sales and they forgot one thing the farmer needs more than 9 like it was the previous few years.

What do you think the cost of bringing in canola cost...in dollars per bushel?

Ocean freight, port costs, domestic movement from port to enduser...

You would think 20 bucks a bushel to the farmer in Canada would be a bargain???????

I was a happy camper today with the Canola lift off but then blew a motor in our oldest Kw. The old girl did very well but her time was due to rebuild or can. Good water truck when done.

So one new to me 2016 on way and another job for the summer putting a rebuilt cat in old KW.

Fun times on the farm.
