Cargill Unveils Plans for New Canola Processing Facility in Regina

[Guest]

Biodiesel methinks. You've got the catalyst there in potassium. Bonus byproduct glycerin for those suppositories the circle jerk club so desperately needs

[sumdumguy]

This must be good news for Canola prices.

i thought everyone said it was viterra ?
is there two?

Because they are too busy running their own farm business and possibly additional off farm jobs.

That’s as dumb as asking why farmers don’t own and run railways and international cargo ships and mine fertilizer and own tractor manufacturers.

Do you commies even think, why aren’t you running a crush plant, it is so easy right.

Buy the stock if you want a piece of it (Cargill, tractor manufacturers, fertilizer companies, railways, etc).

What Tweety is saying can be done by farmers!

Ever hear of DLF Seed and Science?

2800 Danish grass growers, employing 2000 workers in over 20 counties, shipping grass seeds to over 200 countries.

Funny you should mention Cargill the largest privately owned Corp. in the USA in terms of revenue.

Nothing Commie in either of those two examples!

Fair enough, good catch, buy publicly traded Bunge instead and let them do the hard work.

I believe so. Vitera biodiesel, cargill food oil. That’s my understanding at this point.

This is for fuel, not food. Not biodiesel either. It has to be located beside a conventional refinery because it needs hydrogen for the cracking of veg oil into molecularly identical diesel fuel as what comes from crude. See last federal budget for the tax credits coming. Nobody wants to let the cat out of the bag, especially the crushers.

More canola being processed on the prairies is a great thing, I welcome the extra crushing that will come on line in the next couple of years. Regina, Clavet and Yorkton are adding production, how many other crushers are expanding or coming on line? Importers will have to bid more aggressively for canola in the future.

[SASKFARMER]

I think it's a great project and will help as we are 88 km away. Easy haul and we deal with Cargill and Richardson in Yorkton who are also expanding.

Remember the food vs fuel climate fools a few yrs ago when ethanol was growing? So much for that argument. A facility like this could have been running a decade ago. Climate change (and federal cash) trump everything.

I guess this will blended with existing diesel? or its own product?

But now we have to find a way to supply this market with 30% less N according to fnuts.

Canola seeds should not be exported. It should only leave ever this province as food, fuel or meal. Maybe pulses will be exported as protein powder and durum as pasta in the future.

There is a small processer south of Regina that is getting big time into oat milk.
