Russia just banned food imports from europe.i imagine their exports will be banned.

This should help flax out,no?

Nice pop in wheat. Maybe europe might have to come to N.A. for quality wheat this winter. Oh ya, I guess the U.S. didn't have that great of a hard red winter wheat crop! Thunderbay and east shipping might be very busy.

SF3, maybe the east will get shipped out first this year for a change.

European rainy weather is also helping support pea prices.

The mid point for Cargill changes from fort Qusppelle to now north battleford for east west split! Our grain will go east to feed Europe quality!

Russia has banned ALL agricultural imports from Canada too. Putin is really snarling now.

Clearly putin cares little about inflation.

Are the Russians generally self sufficient in food stuffs? If not, what a brilliant move....

[Hopperbin]

Not sure if banning means anything. China and some mid east countries will supply or redirect grain purchases. We have no controle and maybe its time let that part of tbe world function as only they k ow how.

So with all the pipelines flowing west did nat gas and oil go up or get rejected.

It looks like Putin is going to cozy up to China, and several other countries like India, Pakistan etc. When the FSU broke apart inflation was evident, and they made their way through it, with lots of hard times and vodka.

2 world trading blocks seem to be forming,basically sco and nato,with wild cards turkey,india and even germany along with a few lesser importants.

I think....but who knows

Usdx hegemony is the important part.
