If the world didnt have enough shit wheat australia is adding to the plie.
Competition as to had the "worst" harvest conditions australia or canada

Sorry to hear that malleee. We haven't talked for awhile, have we. Bad quality plus poor yield? Is there sainfoin grown in Aussieland? My best, Pars

[charliep]

Also sorry to hear.

Any new crop feed grain pricing available for new crop (export and domestic)? Levels? I think you said not in a malt area but suspect poor quality here as well.

Current feed prices Alberta (best) CWB feed wheat Cdn $185/tonne ($5 ish/bu). Feed barley - Cdn $170/tonne ($3.70/bu).

Feed wheat west coarst - USD $260 to $270/tonne FOB. Feed barley - USD $230 to $240 FOB.

Same shit we had to deal with just now on the opposite side of the world. Were still getting snow snow snow. Its only end of november/

[btjadenlepp]

what are the domestic bids for harvest
delivery of feed wheat in australia? it
would be interesting to compare those
prices to charlie's numbers. one could
come up with some good marketing
strategies based on that for an australian
wheat farmer today, i would think. there
are now more new buyers to play around
with, right?

If your a marketing agency, shouldn't you know the prices in australia?

I once asked some flaten guy from the cwb what the price of wheat was india, he laughed and more or less wondered why that was of any importance. I told him it was part of the "world price" that the cwb always talks about getting a premium over.

Just asking, not meant to offend.

Part of my due diligence for future reference.

Kinda like off grade lantils - worthless.... 35 bus/ac of gardage no one wants is $0/ac. JMO
Top grade anything is worth some mola - offgrade anything(canola,wht,lentil,bly,peas) give away this year, if your lucky.

Did you guys understand my post??
If not can eplain.
Those prices are from AWB and out of the 30 or so buyers most days AWB today were about number 3 on the list a couple bucks off best price on some grades best on others, plus the fall back position is pooling.
Not so many choices with pools only 7 companies offer pools all within $5 bucks on expected return but again grade pricing with in pools varies alot as well.

[malleefarmer]

And forgot to add crops are the best ever on our ranch and most others are the same. Best falls ive heard today 80mm or just over three inches weve had 16mm.

most farmers priced a safe % of there production back in august when prices were good.

[malleefarmer]

Sorry for hogging the post.
You see on price list 11/12 287 i think it was once it gets to 295-305 most farmers here will sell part of there production at that.
Its multi grade and grade spreads will noted on contract would suggest spread would be high as they are at the minute.
Today 15 companies will be offering 11/12 prices and spread between highest and lowest around $30.

I know you canadians thinks its a bastard of a system and thats why you havent got it.......wink wink sorry pars couldnt help myself will log in tommorow am goodnight.

Hey if anyone wants a weekly pricing update like todays be more than happy if anyone is truely interested.

[parsley]

We haven't emailed in awhile, nor have Michael and I. Wanted to have you down for a meal/wine when you were in Canada but at the time my sister was dying.

I note the Aussies aren't being Wiki-leaked, so can't tell if there was any correlation between Iraq 'Food for Oil' and AWB/CWB dealings.

Post every week, or so mallee, will you, please. The boys could use a word or two of sunshine-prices in the winter or cott and bucket might get cabin fever, heaven forbid. LOL

Thanks for the info. And btw, is sainfoin grown Down Under? My best, Pars

[parsley]
