@drtbmay @kowalchukfarms1 At least that’s what you witness from the truck at the edge of the field

@BrianWillott Weed mile. Neighbour used to grow weed on it for his “cancer”

Fellow farmers, I need your advice on a contract issue that just happened to me.
I locked in a 5-load CWRS wheat contract with local elevator that had an online special. Spoke with the buyer and he sent me the contract via email, signed the contract, received the confirmation contract was signed and everything looked normal.
15 minutes they call and say “sorry, that price was a mistake — human error on the website. Posted special was supposed to be $7.30 not 7.79 we’re cancelling the contract.”
They’re refusing to honor the signed contract.

My side:
• Price was live on their site
• I accepted during that window
• Contract was emailed, signed by me, countersigned by them

Would appreciate any war stories or outcomes you’ve seen or heard of. DMs open if you don’t want to post publicly.

@AltaAgTrends101 @CowBizGuy I haul to both

[Eric Schmidt @Eric_D_Schmidt]

@AltaAgTrends101 @CowBizGuy You definitely know the area I am in

[Eric Schmidt @Eric_D_Schmidt]

@AltaAgTrends101 @CowBizGuy We have limited options up here on where I can haul so I don’t really want to get black listed from the closest elevator

[Eric Schmidt @Eric_D_Schmidt]

@CowBizGuy @AltaAgTrends101 I’ll have to look at that

[Eric Schmidt @Eric_D_Schmidt]

@CowBizGuy @AltaAgTrends101 Price was fully discussed on the phone call. Not really sure what you mean by trade rules. I read the contract and it’s pretty cut and dry on it being binding

[Eric Schmidt @Eric_D_Schmidt]

I phoned the elevator they said “oh yah that is a good special I send you the contract” I got it signed it sent it all back. Got the email confirmation your contract has been signed. 10-15 mins later I get a call saying they are canceling the contract because of human error in their end

[Eric Schmidt @Eric_D_Schmidt]

@AltaAgTrends101 I was sitting at my computer the second I got the email it was esigned

[Eric Schmidt @Eric_D_Schmidt]

@ibrbxx They claim they do all the time which I know is bullshit

[Eric Schmidt @Eric_D_Schmidt]

@mcmunn_chris Problem is now the price has dropped and now if I were to book today it’s more than 4K

[Eric Schmidt @Eric_D_Schmidt]

@buperac could use a hand here
