Well as we get ready to leave Florida it seems that after three weeks were only at 50% delivery against a Oct and Nov Contracts with our #1 13.5 HRS.
Their answer don't worry it will get their. But as far as compensation to me the producer its basically nothing they can do so sorry the contract is all in grain companies hands and nothing in farmers.
So I for one am getting royaly screwed thinking how all along we have been told to produce and produce and give the crop every thing then when we do they Railways and Grain Companies F&%k us.
So here is what I think I'm going to do.
Book every FRicking thing with every supplier I have. The Fertilizer is bought and paid for from last fall and ammonia is bought and paid since Christmas. But all my seed and chem except a year of RR from Three years ago is booked.
Looked at books and grain in bins and grain committed to companies. Walk on HRS contracts and Canola and oats starting to look like will do if nothing moves till May 1.
Borrow against 5 Quarters to be used for cash flow for 2014. Equipment living etc.
Nothing looks profitable on any spread sheet program. So seed 1000 canola and 1000 wheat and 500 peas and 500 oats.
This with a average crop will bring bins back full in fall to this years size crop.
Sell excess fert back for a 140,000 profit. use this to buy your seed and chem for min what your seeding.
Spray fields twice with Kelly harrow in summer other wise you wont seed in 2015 if we have normal precipitation.
Take the three combines and head out Custom combining when our harvest is done. Three semis three machines and three 36 ft headers plus grain cart and T.
May first phone or send a registered letter to all suppliers that due to market conditions and fall prices we wont be seeding a crop in 2014.
Have a nice day.
If this shit show shakes out in spring of 2015 You will make a profit of a extra 3 to 4 on HRS that's if our dollar stays the same. You will make 3 to 4 on your canola if the dollar and shit show stays the same. Yield wont be repeated that is BS to think. Mother nature gave us the big one she can also give us a shit one.
The excess profit from the grain plus the decrease in spending looks to be the best option.
Like someone said I think in a earlier post. Maybe we all need a sabbatical next year would the grain industry in Canada survive if every one of us did this.
Because getting sick of phoning home every day or week and hearing oh the cars didn't arrive and you have to sign up contracts for 2015 or you wont have movement with this years crops. Plus you have to book all your disease and chem because producing more will help you get through the poor price years.
