    Hi Mike, I've personally haulage lots of the older 20ft containers full of beans that came from Canada into UK ports & delivered them to various baked beans factories. We British love baked beans, baked beans are good for the heart & the more you eat the more you'll fart!🤣

    I used to work for Canada Malting. We had 2 facilities (Vancouver and Montreal) where we would use a blower to blow the malt into bagged c-cans. For larger shipments that went overseas, we would send malt via trains to Vancouver and Thunder Bay for bulk loading directly into holds of ships. It was usually offloaded from the ship holds at the destination port with clamshell buckets.

Made it hard to freeze in roads. Think it was 2001, cause we had bought a new loader tractor and never plugged it in once to feed that first winter. There were a few in the eighties as well when I was a kid. Cows grazed on pasture half of the winter a couple years.

      Great question, I don't know alot about it because I don't grow oats. But I am pretty the chemical in question "Chlormequat" which is used as a plant growth regulator... Which means that the farmer uses it to stunt the growth so that he's not harvesting 5ft tall straw for example and by doing so it can put the nutrients into seed production vs straw production.

    Sounds like typical business practices except you get paid within 10 days? GC work sometimes would go 120 days before payment. All subs on a project would generally finance a project. No bank needed for some like walmart and the like. And then, some projects would bail on payment all together. And then ask you to bid their next project. Farming sounds like a better bet than building for sure.
