Yellow peas -

I wonder how anyone knows the true demand side of the market when there is no export sales reporting system ?

Every MT of export from Canada is documented and is public knowledge. That's the only thing that is reasonably accurate. We know the demand side.

We know the demand side - you might - but farmers don't.

You should be on more boards and committees to help everything change for the better and to ensure that farmers are on the same knowledge level as exporters.

With no export sales reporting program - you rely on shipping - not sales for a demand picture?

Of the 200,000 tonnes of new crop pea sales made to date; when were the sales made? How the fk do you know the demand side unless there is collusion with your competition? If this country had 10% of the balls that the US has when it comes to antitrust laws; you wouldn't answer phone calls from your competition.

The last sale of export canola was made last week in August 2023; with shipment for March 2024 and your accurate documentation will take place in May, 2024 - 10 months after the fact.

Why shouldn't farmers know that?

Larry.
I was going to start a new thread with this very question.
I myself don't know the facts. Most I discuss this with know/care zero about it. Others tell me it is all reported so what's the problem? (Buyers)
I would like to have conversations with the right knowledge in my grasp. So without a Google search by me, and a thesis article by you; could we somehow have a bullet point of what we do and should have? Maybe others know as well.

Should farmers have to supply weekly sales data and price? Maybe everyone in the chain should supply this info. As a farmer i would disagree with that. Why wouldn't I disagree as we buyer.

Lets face it, when talking about peas or lentils or canary, etc USA doesn't supply this sales data either.

Why is it no Canadian market analyst talks about the USA sales data? I hear nothing about it ever.

Farmers across western Canada already provide monthly price information.
No one is asking for export prices - just sales...

Who actually supplies this? I am a farmer and never even heard about it.

Are we still considering farm surveys reliable information?

Not sure where i saw it but my impression was that China is taking deliveries near historic high levels ( im probably wrong, i think it was canola?)

I would be ok with the grain companies, submitting my sales price ( their purchase price) to a mandatory export reporting system.

Around here (east of Edmonton) pea yields going down due to parts of the field being under water. Forecast calling for lots of rain this week. Anybody want it?

Wow Weather really variable. I am also SE of Edmonton and I finished peas yesterday. Best crop and cheapest ever, 67bu/ac, no desiccant, no fungicide, no fertilizer, all standing straight cut moisture high at first finished at 15.1%. This year I love peas. And price is up to $10.70
