Egg Farmers of Ontario launch electronic quota system

Egg Farmers of Ontario launch electronic quota system

By Amanda Brodhagen, Farms.com

Egg Farmers of Ontario (EFO) is rolling out a new e-system that will modernize the way quota transferring is conducted in the province.

Ontario’s 440 egg and pullet quota holders were informed of its plan on June 6. The quota transfer system will be fully functional by early 2014, which will allow for a swifter way to transfer quota rather than through private sale. The EFO has put in place a hold on quota transfers until the new system is fully implemented.

The EFO said it made the decision to transfer over to a new system after comparing options, including systems in other provinces such as British Columbia, Manitoba and Quebec. "Farmers said the lack of opportunity and lack of information about private quota sales means they find it is becoming more difficult to purchase quota without having to go through egg and pullet industry service representatives,” said EFO Chair Scott Graham.

The electronic quota system aim is to enhance business deals, creating more accessibility for buyers and sellers.  EFO says it will work with farmers in the coming months to assist with the transfer over to the new system.

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.

But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
