Auction Report from Mooretown, Ontario
For more auction information - visit http://www.auctions.farms.com


Here is a report from the former owner of the equipment at yesterdays farm auction in Mooretown, Ontario - which is in Canada within 1 mile of the US. We are located directly across from St. Clair, Michigan which is about 40 miles north of Detroit on the Canadian side of the river.


These numbers are exact with the Canadian $ first followed by US $ in brackets using todays exchange rate. All machinery was in excellent condition - one owner ( except for the combine I was second owner) and there were between 700 and 900 people at the auction. Recently I posted on here about your auction likes and dislikes and used some of those ideas and they were great...... thank you. We had 3 gators available to take the small stuff people bought to their trucks during the auction so they could unload - excellent idea. Parking was on site ( wheat stubble which had been chopped) and the parking was well marked for 3 miles each way before the auction and we had 2 or 3 parking attendants getting people parked correctly - worked great. I had 6 friends there wearing bright orange hats so you only had to ask an "orange hat" for information or help - worked great. Had a lot of items on pallets so at the end we loaded into the back of pickups very easily. And one unknown, we had perfect weatherl - 70F sunny and a light breeze. Lots of other things to help but they were the main ones - oh yeah Betty and I supplied free coffee for the day.


Results of the main items -

4455 FWA tractor - 2096 original hours - $66,000 Can - ( $61,321 US )

2955 2WD drive with cab - 1600 original hours - $27,000 Can - ( $25,085 US )

Manitoba Dealer AgWest Seeks Lifeline

One of Manitoba's largest equipment dealership networks has been given a temporary lifeline to stay in business while it seeks new financing, pursues a sale or develops a restructuring plan, as the Manitoba Court of King's Bench granted protection from creditors. AgWest Ltd. could be heading toward liquidation as the company was unable to meet payroll obligations in the middle of harvest season, according to a document filed by the company's bank, the Bank of Montreal. AgWest serves farmers at six dealerships in Manitoba at Elie, Morden, Brandon, Neepawa, Russell and Benito, as well as two locations in Saskatchewan at Weyburn and Yorkton. AgWest Ltd. has defaulted on more than $34 million in loans, according to an opening brief in a restructuring proceeding under Canada's Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act.

Diesel Fuel Waivers Bring Engine Compatibility Concerns and Tax Rule Questions

Responding to the surge in diesel fuel prices, federal and state lawmakers introduced temporary measures intended to provide economic relief. These actions raise questions about fuel use requirements and fuel taxation. “Temporary relief measures may help reduce operating costs, but diesel users should not assume that all diesel fuels are interchangeable,” said Allen Schaeffer, executive director of the Engine Technology Forum. “Understanding which fuel is appropriate for a particular engine and complying with tax and regulatory requirements can help avoid equipment damage, unnecessary maintenance costs, warranty concerns, and compliance issues.” Texas and Alaska get ULSD exemptions Ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) is the standard diesel fuel used for both on-highway and off-highway applications throughout the United States, and it is regulated to a maximum sulfur content of 15 parts per million (ppm). On Oct 5, Texas was granted a waiver to supply diesel fuel with up to 500 ppm of sul
