Exactly, and that's the problem. Most farmers are forced to buy, and as your industry knows they're forced to buy at this time of year, prices always conspicuously spike at this time of year, and that's what's really driving the demand and the prices up.
I agree with you that we need to look at some ways to distribute the cashflow throughout the year, but your argument does not make logical sense to me.
The other thing I'd like to compare is anhydrous ammonia. I don't know if you have our document, but on page 5, it shows the difference between Minnesota/North Dakota and Manitoba at about $240 per tonne.
In your report, on page 4, you're saying there's anywhere between $150 and $180 per tonne difference. This is substantial. Can you explain to me the difference between these? And please don't try to tell me that you can just go down and bring anhydrous ammonia back across the border with a truck. Security regulations won't let you do that.
So can you explain the differences to me, your logical reason for this difference in price, especially since a lot of this is manufactured right here in Canada? I have a plant in Redwater that manufactures this, and my guys are paying $200 a tonne more for something that's just down the road, because they have to send it to the States and then bring it back.
