Anybody pricing?

Thanks ronski

Looks like canola is pushing through some resistance today, if it closes in green its a good day.

[Burbert]

Cornfusion is the order of the day. It
appears that nobody, EXCEPT A FEW
CHISLERS AND MARKETEERS here on
Angriville, nose what the hell is
happening. Grain companies are really,
really, really, quiet aboot what theys
gonna dooooo. Viteria is the only one
whose talkin the big talk, butt whats
new, theys allways talkin the big talk,
JUST NOT WALKIN IT THOUGH. Really looks
though, like the malt barely market is
finally, hoop, gone down the drain, f'd.
Went from high quality Comedian malt, ta
nothing, cousin malties are gonna source
it from other places, like Argintina, no
interest, not buyin Comedian. Guess
times change, canolie, canolie, canolie.
Some will be big whinners and some will
be losers, new waya doin things. Thank
you you f un Crack head ritz biscuit.

13 bucks in beans is a CRUCIAL line.

Tomorrow or later today we crash and then take a run
at it again imo.

Sold most of next years barley production with "Act of God" for what will work out to about $5.65/ bushel at my farm.

This is the same U.S. maltster who's current price is less than last year, but then again the price is down from the time I made the contract last year. Not as much as the market dropped from that time, but there is no middleman taking their cut anymore either.

Canadian Maltsters may take a year or two to realize they don't have the limitless supply of cheap barley anymore, no matter how they treat the farmers who supply them. I've heard there are already improvements happening, but they've still lost me for 2012.

[dalek]

Sold a few (8-9%) beans at $12.10 cash.

[Burbert]

Ifn the price is down on malt next year,
bet yer locked in acta godly clause won't
make a bitta difference, cousin yer grain
unfortunately won't meat their high, high,
higher quality specs. Seen it happen
before, they got away wit it cousin only
snivelin and whinning ensued..... Nothin
ta stop the crooks in the market. Am I
right er am I wrong??????????

[Hopperbin]

What specs do you have to meet Ranger?
I would be temped to switch all my soft wheat acres to barley if I can get that price, I suppose my transport will be higher than yours. If the specs are only protien and germ and plumpness, then sounds like a good contract.

[Hopperbin]

Do you bag your malt?

[Wheatking]

Burbert
Burbert you are right. Are where was your god damned board to
protect farmers. If they cant or wont help the farmer get the
hell out of the way. At least now there should be some
accountability with what happens in the malt industry. There are
only two people who can be at fault now, no passing the buck
anymore. If we have a disagreement on malt the tests go to a
third independent party for final results. And if we still have
a disagreement everything is in writing and we can get the
courts involved or take our business elsewhere.

I really hope that now the board is gone our customers(maltsers)
can be treated as our partners and not our enemies which seems
to be the board and the small minded way.

Re: what Burbert is trying to explain. If anyone thinks what he is saying can't or won't happen, they are only fooling themselves. This is not a pessimistic view just a realistic view. Your customer is always right, even when they are wrong. Don't forget who is making out the cheque.

[FarmRanger]

Hopperbin, only protien germ and plumpness. No
bags, just air floor bins.
Had over 1% wheat in 2011 (even with clean
canola last year and wheat 2 years ago!!), but
they still accepted it. It was pleasant to deal with
someone who actually tried to make the deal work
anyway.

[blackpowder]

Farmranger; would you mind saying what region you're in roughly??
It would help me get an idea if my price offering is fair given freight.
Talked to Malteurop rep from GFalls at a meeting, but my freight would make price same as my local CMalt.
Curious as to your buyer but of course thats your business.
