During the 1970-71 crop year, a procedure known as "pooling of grain" was introduced at the ports of Vancouver and Thunder Bay to reduce the amount of switching required. Under this system, all Wheat Board grain, that is export wheat, oats and barley(except selected lots), is placed at any terminal for unloading, no matter to which elevator company it is consigned. Time is saved by eliminating the switching formerly required to effect mandatory delivery to the elevator company indicated on the bill of lading. 1, record 4, English, - pooling%20of%20grain

Pendant la campagne agricole de 1970-1971, on a adopté aux ports de Vancouver et de Thunder Bay un procédé appelé «pool du grain», en vue de réduire les échanges. Suivant ce procédé, tout le grain de la Commission du blé, c'est-à-dire le blé, l'avoine et l'orge d'exportation (à l'exception de certains chargements) est stocké dans n'importe quel silo portuaire, quelle que soit la compagnie manutentionnaire à laquelle il a été consigné.

A merchant who buys grain in the cash market can protect himself against possible price reductions by selling a futures contract for an equal volume of grain. For example, a primary elevator company which has bought grain from producers and paid cash for it, faces losses if the cash price falls before the grain can be shipped to a terminal and sold. But, by selling a futures contract, the primary elevator company can normally assure itself a price that will cover costs. This is known as a "selling hedge", and is designed to protect crops or inventories against price drops. 1, record 10, English, - selling%20hedge

Le commerçant qui achète du grain au marché au comptant peut se protéger contre les baisses éventuelles en vendant un contrat à terme pour une quantité égale de grain. Ainsi, la compagnie de silos de collecte qui a acheté du grain des producteurs et a payé comptant s'expose à des pertes si le prix au comptant baisse avant que ce grain n'arrive à un silo portuaire et soit vendu. Mais en vendant un contrat à terme, la compagnie peut normalement s'assurer un prix qui couvrira les frais. On appelle cela une «contrepartie de vente», opération qui a pour but de protéger les récoltes ou les stocks contre les baisses de prix. 1, record 10, French, - contrepartie%20de%20vente

Binning grain by grade requires special skills. The elevator must ensure that small lots, which are purchased over a period of time and placed in a bin to accumulate until carlot quantities have been obtained, receive the same grade and dockage when unloaded at the terminal as was given to producers when the grain was originally purchased. Any difference between the grade given by the elevator manager to a producer and the grade given by the Commission is absorbed by the elevator company. 1, record 15, English, - binning%20grain

Le remplissage du silo demande une certaine compétence. L'agent doit s'assurer que les petites quantités qu'il achète jusqu'à ce qu'une cellule contienne suffisamment de grain pour remplir un wagon, se verront attribuer, lors du déchargement à un silo terminus, le même grade et le même pourcentage d'impuretés que ce qu'il a déclaré aux producteurs au moment de l'achat. Toute différence entre le grade attribué par l'agent à un producteur et le grade fixé par la Commission est absorbée par la compagnie de silos. 1, record 15, French, - remplissage%20du%20silo
