What does it offer?
A Guaranteed Delivery Contract lets you contract your grain for a specific delivery period to take advantage of sales opportunities.
Program details
- GDCs have 100-per-cent acceptance.
- The contract program provides you full delivery of your contracted tonnes on a single delivery call.
- GDCs offer a defined delivery period.
- GDC delivery periods span 30 days in order to meet sales requirements.
- The CWB may offer several GDCs for the same grain throughout the crop year.
- GDCs have a tonnage limit and may close without notice.
- Read your contract carefully. Understand the terms and conditions.
- Know the specific grain quality specifications and other production and delivery requirements as outlined by your contract.
- You are expected to deliver 90 per cent of the contracted grade and protein. Some GDCs for the smaller grain classes may require 100-per-cent delivery of your contracted grain.
- GDC contracts can be used in conjunction with any applicable CWB pricing options, such as Producer Payment Options (PPOs).
Producer Payment Options (PPOs)
- You can apply for an Early Payment Option (EPO) contract on the tonnes committed to a GDC by completing a "2011-12 Early Payment Option Sign-up/Lock-in Application." Sign-up begins for 2011-12 EPOs on Tuesday, August 2.
