Elevator Talks
Monday, October 26, 2020
We are starting into the week with an overcast sky and cooler temperatures. Here at the elevator we had 0.8" of rain over the weekend. Over the last few weeks our trucks have been very busy to make room and we are happy to announce that we can now take corn as well as soybeans.
Markets are down overnight. Harvest in Ontario and parts of the US is still on hold due to rain and cooler temperatures. Governments around the world are builing up reserves, China is leading the way with high demand for corn and soybeans. Weather news from South America are starting to play into the picture and will have a big impact on future soybean prices. Ontario basis are still holding up their strengh so far. Movement of the dollar will play a role here.
Call anytime for marketing advice or if you have questions.
Have a good start into the week!
COVID-19
2020 Harvest Delivery Procedures
As we approach harvest, we want you to know that our harvest delivery procedures have changed slightly this year. We continue to practice social and physical distancing, proper handwashing and sanitizing to eliminate the spread of COVID-19.
The scale house will be closed to farmers and carriers during harvest.
The following is what to expect when you bring a load to the elevator:
Upon arrival, remain in your vehicle to be weighed in. Communicate via CB radio or cell phone to declare ownership and type of grain delivered.
Remain in your vehicle at all times where possible. If you need to leave your vehicle when you are dumping please ensure to practice social and physical distancing.
Once your vehicle is unloaded, return to the scale, and remain on the scale in marked area to be weighed out.
Scale tickets can be picked up outside the scale house or delivered to your vehicle by staff.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us. We are happy to accommodate a "non-contact delivery" if you wish. Please notify the office in advance about the ownership and type of grain you are delivering.
Checking Samples in Advance As always, we are more than happy to test your samples before harvest for moisture and grade. Please contact the office upon arrival and let our staff know you have a sample to be tested. An outside table will be set up with pails for you to transfer your sample into and our staff will test the sample as requested. Remain in your vehicle and a staff member will bring out the results.
Due to the current situation we might not always be in the office but we are available via phone: (905) 939-7494 email: office@dunkerronelevators.ca and text: (905) 252-2442
