had a phone survey call the other night on Nexara

asking if i would consider growimg it at various preimiums 25 $ 42$ 64$ or carriying the inputs.

actually had the same type of survey 2 years ago. when they came out with their program they had picked the lowest prem.

with their poor yeilds and green i never grew any.

so if they call tell them to take a hike . that its just not economical.
maybe that will smarten up their priem.

But isn't this what makes canola such a great crop? The ability the choose whether or not you feel a particular system or characteristic is best for your farm. Some growers do well with specialty, some get burnt and never do it again.

The only thing that is ever going to change the premium and values placed on what the grower will get is when the need outstrips production. As Larry Weber says, you guys feed the bull to the bear. We overproduce and then we whine there is no money in it. And the bear burps, and then the companies say thankyou very much.

Trick is I think, how do we determine that balance between excessive price killing carry-over and stifling new market development by not having enough product?
