The Rural Voice, 1992-05, 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, additional 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. GREEN VALLEY HEATING R.

Western barley has traded as low as $107/mt which is close to the Ontario barley prices of last month. As a result, Ontario barley has dropped to about $95 to $100/mt FOB farm. Mixed grain is selling for less than $100/mt FOB farm. The price of high quality oats has dropped about $15 to $115/mt due to a major drop in Winnipeg futures. However, feed type oats are holding at the $100/mt mark. During the first two weeks of April, funds (A.K.A. Speculators) have not only liquidated their long futures positions, but have outright shorted or sold the markets. With the low volume seen in grain futures late- ly, the speculative selling manifested itself in very large down moves in the market. The reason the funds started to sell the corn market was because of the fact that there was no apparent bullish news to make the prices strengthen and the result was a big negative. Now, we'll have to depend on spring planting problems or weather problems later in the season to rally prices although I still think the corn market is too low given the carryout as a per cent of usage. Un- less more negative news comes out, the low carryout amount should con- tinue to support the market and leave the market vulnerable to any weather problems.0 Information supplied by Dave Gordon, LAC, Inc., Hyde Park, 519-473-9333.
