Thanks Joan, I know that there is / was a debate up here over the wheat pools. Seems our farmers must sell to the pool and many got into trouble breaking ranks and selling direct south of the border. Time to do a little work on that. Never rode a wheat wave before. Almost sounds like an old Martha Reeves tune... Like a Heat Wave ;o) I'm always looking for the slow grinding up trends to get on since I'm not much of a trader. regards Kastel

Re: Edit. I expect we will know when parity is reached as you will start to see Canadian farmers in bankruptcy court like we have seen here in the states for the last decade. The picture is, I believe, bigger than you think. Argentina, Kenya, Uganda, Australia, Persia, Ukraine, Kazakstan, Mexico, Brazil and many other nations must attempt to compete against U.S. and EU grain conglomerates and are at a distinct disadvantage because of the vicious subsidy environment that ag producers live in, in spite of all assurances about "free markets", WTO compliance and other lies that the OECD countries impose on world trade in grains.
