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.
