The Rural Voice, 1992-04, Page 22INTRODUCING CANADIAN CUSTOM WATERSTOVE
The Outside, Wood Fired, Hot Water, Central Heating System.
Construction: The C.C.W. is a combination of a specially designed high efficiency
air tight firebox surrounded by an insulated water holding storage tank. Operation:
The C.C.W. automatically controls the air flow into the firebox to keep the stored
water between 120 and 190 degrees F. The hot water is piped into your home or
building and the heat is released through your existing ductwork or radiators.
Efficient: The C.C.W. is equipped with on demand forced draft which means you
will only need to load your unit every 12 to 48 hours depending on your individual
requirements. Because of the unique design of the unit, over 90% of the heat
produced in the firebox is retained by the water. By centrally locating the C.C.W. unit,
additionl structures, pool/spas or greenhouses can be heated with the same unit
Farm shops and barns. The optional domestic hot water system may account for
up to 30% saving in your utility costs.

GRAIN MARKETS
TRADERS TENTATIVE
The past month has seen some ad-
justments in grain prices. While wheat
futures initially supported soybean and
corn prices, the latter two grains main-
tained their levels when wheat dropped
dramatically. Traders and speculators
are quite tentative in their approach to
the market and are unable to trade the
markets in either direction with any
confidence. Will credit be extended to
the point where exports will deplete
stocks or will we see such large crops
that we once again have an oversupply?
Only time will tell.
CORN
Two reports issued last week have
had some short term projected plantings
reports in which a corn crop of 80
million acres was indicated. With an
average yield of 118 bu/acre, the sec-
ond largest crop in history is projected.
However, the acreage should have
come as no surprise and with a total
usage potentially over 8 billion bushels,
I rather doubt there will be a problem
of oversupply.
The second report issued was a sup-
ply/demand report from USDA and it
was slightly disappointing in that pro-
jected ending stocks were not reduced
again. But, given the fact that USDA
reduced exports last month, one
couldn't expect them to flip-flop so
quickly. Many traders think exports
will be as much as 65 million bushels
more than USDA is projecting and, in
support, sales over the last four weeks
have been very good.
In Ontario, corn basis continues to
strengthen, partially because of the
weakening Canadian dollar and partial-
ly due to export demand which is a
reflection on the weak dollar. There
continue to be enquiries from foreign
buyers of corn, but even though our
prices right now are quite weak, they
are just a little higher than the bids.
