How does signing a seed package contract in spring effect who I sell to in fall? Can I really go open market on a seed package contract or am I locked in to dealing with the company I bought my seed ferts and herbicides from? Can I buy my package from Viterra and sell to P&H or some mill in TX?
Petros, I was listening to a fellow (sorry I didn't write his name down) being interviewed on Connect the other day and he was saying that many farmers now do their own marketing and are very savvy about getting the best price for their crops. As I understand it, growers who wish too will still be able to go to the CWB but anyone who chooses to do their own marketing will also be able to do so. He also talked about the growth of cooperatives on the prairies and how farmers will now be able to sell their products to cooperatives without interference from the CWB. Is that not a good thing for everyone? Just asking.
