The only strategy I can think of is cash advance
every kernel in the yard. Keep the grain in
condition because it has value, just not today.
Plant what you normally would, but be more
aware of fert rates and less fancy products.
Before harvest, empty bins into bags when you
have time, you can rent bagger from neighbour.
Like highwayman says, this will sort itself out over
time. Another option is to sign up more land to
lender and finance next years costs with your
equity.
This is going to be a difficult time, but common for
ag in western Canada. Those who are cashed up
will make it through others will not. Calling people
ignorant pricks does not change the situation.
It's going to be another "live and let die" scenario
in ag. We have seen it before, buckle up.

may not be the sharpest pencil in the box but if we
all had the perfect marketing plan wouldn't there
just be a lot more grain on the ground? It would
have jammed up at harvest.

Expensing your capital is not a good idea.

Bucket give it a rest, keep it civil. I think Charlie gives
good perspective and is a better man than I for not
getting sucked into the level of dialogue that often
takes place here.

It is too bad that you are behind on deliveries, but it
isn't Charlie's or any other poster on this site's fault.

So quit being such a baby.

Read charliep's posts again and then follow my logic.

Waiting around for elevators to call 3 months after the fact, on grain I booked in November 2012, is inexcusable.

charliep can talk about planning all he wants, if the railroads choose to do nothing which is what they are doing, and using cold weather as the excuse.

Then I guess bitching and moaning about cold weather can work for me as well.

It was charliep that threw in the comment about cattle, I have some and have been there in May watching calves die in snowstorms.

The guy doesn't have a ****ing clue.

And I really don't need a pep talk from another government beauracrat today.

Just had a thought, I probably shouldn't say this, but a
friend of mine managed a UGG back in the day.

If they were tired of customer that was a PITA they made
sure the grade was lower, dockage higher, delivery slower.

Maybe your problem is the grain co that you sold your grain
to, or ..... wait for it.... you? LOL

Sorry that was uncalled for, I have been calling for a
higher level of comments on this site.

Any thought out there that the elevators
dont like this any better than you?
Grain co's get paid to move grain, not
have high basis levels. Basis was
dropping all fall - was an indicator of
not enough demand and too much supply.
They want to move your grain and help
you. Accept that.
