Yellow Peas

It goes to the elevator ...gets sold....then the money is deposited into a bank account and is used to buy grain somewhere closer to the problem. ...

Never does Canadian grain get exported to where the problem exists. ....

Just read about that.....peas from Canada ....from my understanding. ...do not have to be fumigated or the other issue is ...the fumigation doesn't work because of temperature. ...

Good thing we are investing for more productive varieties while ignoring market access.


Let them starve.....ignorant I know but what's the solution...

We could feed Africa but Trudeau is so ****ing stupid he would finance the European farmer before Canadian farmers by writing a cheque to a dictator....and then it's still questionable if people would get fed.

Starve? The issue is the market is flooded internally in India. They don't need it. Buyers in India are going bankrupt. There are peas that can no longer ship to India and it will get dumped into other markets.

Starve.....not today but maybe the next time they come calling....

But there are people still starving in Africa. ....


Be sort of shitty for India to look like the do gooder using Canadian pulses. ....while we build more storage waiting for India to come calling....

In other words Canada could have a food program where Canadian producers get paid and the grain heads to Africa to feed millions ....I think the US does it.

And we had a early harvest this year which should mean exports are higher not lower. This tale will be told in the Nov numbers which won't be public for awhile.

Why can't that be public knowledge?


It is my business if I sell pulses....

Maybe saskpulse should promote a transparent marketing letter that keeps producers in the loop. ....


Absolutely no sense in promoting higher production with newer varieties if there is no market....

I think there is a market but in most ....it requires government intervention. ....

Whether it be the fumigation issue or sending pulses as food aid to starving nations....

Sask pulse caused a lot of this. LOL. Especially with regards to lentils.


I had a bid a few days ago that worked back to $6.90 for yellow peas less than 13.5 moisture less than 2% splits with "excellent" natural odour and color.




Delivery not until end of March though.


To give a price indication
And this is bagged in container lots.

It is public, it just has a time lag in it's release. Comes out about a month or so after the last day of the reporting month. As to why it takes that long... it's a government agency, they tend not to be high on efficiency or low on red tape. I have sent the link before but will paste it again, has all the info of how much and where to all your grain goes:

Check off is the same no matter the price right? Wouldn't it be better if it was based on % of net? Would encourage them to advocate markets more on price instead of quantity.

Peas are done. India huge tarrifs lentils next

Wheat too.
