Elevator Talks
Friday, August 7:
The sun is out, the skies are blue and it looks like a good harvest day today. Some combines got started yesterday and a few loads came in. Moisture was down to 14.2% at the end of the day. Please check the webiste for updates on moisture and operating hours today. We will be open tomorrow.
Should you need any help trucking crops from the field during wheat harvest this year, please give us a call and we are happy to assist.
Markets down slightly overnight. The US is reporting good growing conditions and with no weather scare on the horizon, crops are looking good. Futures have been dropping at the news of a big corn and soybean crop coming our way this fall. A rising Canadian dollar is putting pressure on Ontraio basis. A large wheat crop in Ontario and the strong dollar have decreased local wheat prices. Keep your eyes on the market to catch any opportunities that might arise.
Call anytime for marketing advice or if you have questions.
Happy combining!

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
