Corn Going Up...What about feed barley?

Wilagro,

Being 'rich' is a state of mind...

Hope your day goes well and you have a good harvest!

Cheers!

Happy hour just goes on... and on... and on.

Sold July /'11 feed barley @ $225.05 fob. Waiting to see how bad Mb. needs the other half. $5.00 my number for 50lb range.

Tom any chance they could open up feed barley like now? Cwb does not really do much pooling of barley anyways. Guess were lucky local barley is competitive with export so we don't take yet another screwing on that commodity for one more year. Thanks Tom for all your work over the years.

Charlie where do you find out about boats of feed barley being sold or loaded? For any other grain for that matter? Something good for us farmer to know about.

No real published sources available to everyone. I have contacts in the trade.
Information actually flows fairly well - people trade information. Tender
results generally tend to get out. A good broker with contacts is a real benefit
to keeping a farm manager informed.

On the lineup of boats in Vancouver, there is a daily spreadsheet that is
available - a line up of ships both loading and waiting to be loaded. Not
readily available to anyone outside the grain industry so again you have to
know someone.
