According to them, They have strategic alliances with suppliers, equipment co's and grain companies, including every aspect of production and marketing. Thier money will be made on the markets and thier cost of production will be lower than any one else.

The bigger you are the better deal you get, Even at your local co-op, that we all own. No matter how big you are, there is always somebody bigger getting a better deal. Even the biggest independant producers are small potatoes now.

Spring died in the night. It's snowing. Parsley

Good description Pars, spring was MURDERED here by 6" wet snow the night before. It's so blinding white the sun's warmth gets reflected and spring will come slower!

Had 3 feet of snow then got 2 inches of rain yesterday, now is nearing 10 below...What a fruit-full mess this is. Suppose to go to 27 below tonight... Only by Gods grace will there be any winter wheat survive this mess.

Will be interesting to see the efficiency of production. Timing is essential in grain production. That is their weak link.

Some retailers won't deal with these types any more since they got burnt on those involved with the big time/short time operators.

It nearly sunk them and created a different business environment for those that had supported them prior to that.

Seeing the same thing here.

Two comments: 1. I don't like the phrase 'western Canada is littered with small 2000 acre farmers'

2. I think the worst job in the world would be a foreman for One Earth. you have the pressure from the eastern suits on top and dealing with inexperienced workers below you to get the crop in and off

Had three feet on the level in the south west but starting to bust up nicely. Gophers running fast and furious. Looks like we will be 2 weeks behind normal which will put us in the field by the middle of next month. Very wet but land drains well here where it is normally on the dry side rather than the wet side. Every farmer in the area complaining how difficult it is to move grain right now on soft roads and swampy yards.

Highwayman, we saw the land SW of Kyle last summer, perfect slope and drainage. Too bad our double normal precip can't happen there, would run off no problem.
Here the channels are too flat and over grown to move the water, and wow will there be water if it melts fast.
Unfortunately it better melt dam soon, don't give a sh*t if it is fast.
