Condominium(condo) storage refers to space that a producer may own or lease within a licensed primary elevator... Using condo storage enables producers to position their grain closer to the market and allows them to initiate a sale at any time from anywhere around the world. Producers are also able to avoid spring road bans and the difficulty of moving grain by truck in the winter from on farm storage bins to a primary elevator. In the case of Canadian Wheat Board grain, condo storage allows producers to deliver into the elevator system above quotas and prior to a contract call. 2, record 1, English, - condominium%20storage

La capacité de stockage garantie se rapporte à l'espace qu'un producteur peut acheter ou louer à l'intérieur d'un silo primaire agréé [...] Avoir recours au stockage garanti permet aux producteurs de rapprocher leur grain des débouchés et réaliser une vente en tout temps avec n'importe quel coin du monde. Les producteurs peuvent également éviter les interdictions s'appliquant aux routes au printemps et la difficulté d'acheminer le grain par camion des cellules de stockage à la ferme à un silo primaire en hiver. Dans le cas du grain de la Commission canadienne du blé, le stockage garanti permet aux producteurs de livrer du grain dans le réseau de silos au-delà des contingents et avant l'appel à un contrat. 2, record 1, French, - capacit%C3%A9%20de%20stockage%20garantie%20au%20producteur

[...] A slowdown in the normal flow of grain to a terminal may cause a shortage in supply available for immediate delivery. The holders of short futures positions in the near contracts would be unable to fulfill their commitments to deliver and would need to buy back their futures contracts in order to erase their commitment. At the same time, those who had bought futures contracts, in order to protect the price of a sale, would tend to hold onto the position to ensure that they would receive supplies. To attract sellers to take their positions, the shorts may have to bid for the nearby contracts until they reached a premium over the further contracts, thus creating an inverted market. 2, record 7, English, - inverted%20market

When a member having grain on surrender with the Association wants to deliver all or part of it on a sale, it is not necessary to withdraw actual warehouse receipts. Instead, the Association provides a form of transfer certificate which is issued on application for any quantity or grade required, and is transferable and negotiable by endorsement in the same way as the warehouse receipt, making it possible to carry out any transaction or sale, and make delivery of any quantity and grade with only one document. This eliminates the need for a number of warehouse receipts of different quantities and storage dates, involving the figuring and adjusting of storage on each warehouse receipt separately. 1, record 9, English, - transfer%20certificate
