Questions
What is the most an elevator can charge for flaxseed storage in Alberta?
Filed maximums for a day, after the first 10 days on an elevator receipt run from $0.05 to $0.25/t a day across the 11 company schedules that set a figure a tonne, at licensed primary elevators in Alberta (Canadian Grain Commission summary, crop year 2026–27). A company may charge less, never more than it filed.
Is the filed maximum what I will pay?
Not necessarily. Licensed elevators must file their maximum charges with the Canadian Grain Commission and can’t charge more, but they may charge less, and many negotiate. Ask the elevator before you haul.
