Yellow Pea Movement

[helmsdale]

How's everyone making out with contracts and deliveries? Phoned to book in two loads at advertised price in Viterra Trochu and was told even though they list a price on their app they cannot make new contracts for anything prior to march delivery as they still haven't moved August contracts. Managed to get booked into Kindersley, but unsure of when they can get movement. Inquired at a few other locations and many are still sitting on August contracts as well.

Sitting on overdue contracts.....hmmmm. ...interesting.....two sides signed the contracts......


It is a dysfunctional system....it's also keeping a lid on prices.....

Going through exact same problems Bucket. Frustrating and like you say contracts seem to be very one sided. Entertain yourself and play some games. Catch them if you can. This week I called different locations in neighboring provinces using a different company name and offered to sell the exact product already under contract at a steep discount if they could take and pay in a week. Miraculously it wasn't an issue at all yet the higher priced contract cannot be moved or even a ballpark delivery date given. What a joke !!

So now the question is .....where is all the money from the checkoffs going?


Seems stupid to improve varieties and production and then get set back because the contracts are not worth shit. ....


So maybe a saskpulse rep could comment on getting a standardized contract that's meaningfull for all pulse growers. .....or is that not saskpulse's mandate?

I believe Trochu is having issues because CN has parked cars on their track from the train that derailed north of town. They can’t get movement right now. Not that peas seemed to be moving particularly well right now anyway.

Sounds like an enlarged prostate problem. ....the diagnosis procedure is about the same....bend over and take it!

Sorry, I couldn't help but see the similarities.

The pulse board actually pushing back on the industry? You are drunk bucket go straight to bed.
The board is to busy singing the praises of the Davidson contract breaker.
All bow to the pulse man of the year agriville fellas

Here us your checkoff dollars hard at work. I don't think I see anything about contracts not getting fullfilled. Lots of dollars bring spent on trying to convince Canadians to eat pulses. $5,000,000.00 worth of pea and lentil taste testing. Yikes

[BreadWinner]

Sorry read that wrong. 3.5 million in handing out samples of Sask lentils all over the globe.

Oh shit.... here I thought the check off money was for creating private label pulses for certain processors.....


And then use Canadian government funds to support their purchases of Ukrainian product.....
