Settling current crop year deliveries in the next crop year

What does it offer?

The new-pool pricing (NPP) option offers farmers and interested parties the choice to deliver wheat and durum in the current crop year (2010-11) and then choose the following crop year’s pool return (2011-12).

Program details

  • All fees are non-refundable
  • Program fees are deducted from any future CWB payments or can be paid by credit card

Switching grain from one year to the next creates uncertainty about pool size and affects the pool returns of both the old and new crop years. The per-tonne fee offsets these impacts and is regularly updated to reflect changes in the Pool Return Outlook (PRO) and market conditions. This fee is calculated based on the difference between the old and new crop year PRO, current average sales values and risk.

If deliveries exceed the tonnes indicated on the new-pool pricing sign-up application, the farmer or interested party delivering will be charged the applicable per-tonne fee posted on our Web site on June 30, 2011. If 2010-11 deliveries are priced in the 2011-12 crop year and we have not received a completed 2010-11 new-pool pricing sign-up application, the farmer or interested party delivering will be charged the June 30, 2011 per-tonne fee plus the $25 administration fee.

Payment can be made by Visa or MasterCard by calling 1-800-275-4292 with your credit card number and expiry date
