Producers receive an initial payment when they deliver grain to a primary elevator. The level of this initial payment is set by the Canadian Government and is a government-guaranteed price to the producer. The initial payment for each pool account is usually set at what is regarded as a "safe" level and varies from year-to-year according to market conditions.... The net value of grain in each pool account is determined after all grain has been sold and all costs involved in marketing have been deducted. These costs include interest, insurance, storage, terminal elevators handling charges, and the Board's own operating costs.

The CargoLifter is an airship, which can carry up to 160t of freight like a crane. Goods up to the size of 12 x 5 x 5 m can be carried at a speed of 100 km/h. Maximum range is 10. 000 km.... The advantage of CargoLifter is, that transport can take place in rural areas with little or no infrastructure. Transport times are cut by a factor of 10 and the complexity of the project is reduced significantly.... The loading cycle will take about half a day to unload and 3/4 days to load. The CargoLifter can take 72 TEU in a box, but the weight volume ratio is very low(1 : 20). The weight alone would account for 136t or 85% of the payload. The remaining 44t can take 2800 cubic meters of space(weight to volume of 1 : 62).... CargoLifter will use marine diesel engines and propellers for thrust. Installed power is expected to be 9. 3 MW, for a top speed of 135 km/h. The average speed will be about 100 km/h, which requires about 5 MW and an hourly fuel consumption of 1 tonne(specific fuel burn approx. 200 g/kWh). 3, record 5, English, - CargoLifter

Les promoteurs du Cargolifter visent le transport de charges lourdes et volumineuses. [...] le dirigeable géant CL160 se veut une alternative au transport par bateau, trop lent, et au transport par avion, trop cher. [...] Parmi les avantages soulignés par son constructeur [Cargolifter AG], on peut citer la capacité du dirigeable à effectuer du transport «porte-à-porte» sans infrastructure particulière au sol. Un système de grue intégrée permettra de charger et de décharger tout en maintenant l'appareil à une centaine de mètres de hauteur. Le Cargolifter mesurera 240 m de long et 61 m de diamètre. Il pourra voler entre 80 et 100 km/h à des altitudes de l'ordre de 1,500 m, et sera capable d'emporter jusqu'à 160 tonnes. Sa «soute» offre 46 m de longueur, 7,5 m en largeur et autant en hauteur. Sa structure est de type semi-rigide. Le dirigeable, doté d'une quille rigide et rempli de plusieurs compartiments d'hélium, sera équipé de moteurs diesel entraînant les hélices orientables. 3, record 5, French, - Cargolifter
