In my case, as I mentioned in my presentation, seed is ordered early on in the year. It has to be because some years it is short. Carrying over seed can cause depletion in germination. Quite often the seed is already treated. I also mentioned that canola seed is about $600 to $700 a bag, which is a big investment to have sitting on your shelves. For a seed retailer to stock and hold this stuff year after year is formidable.
This year, due to the severe fall we had, other seed crops that we could switch to are basically unavailable because of poor germination and things like that. It's fine if one or two farmers change their decisions in your area, but if the whole province all of a sudden doesn't want to grow canola, now there's a shortage on cereals or peas or whatever else. Seed stocks are an expensive thing to keep year after year.
It's really hard to change your rotations in that regard, too, because if there's no seed, you're stuck. I have 50 bags of canola sitting in my warehouse at $600 or $700 a bag and I want to use it. I don't want to change to something else because there's another cost to switching.
