Ok experts! Frost Tuesday will a 1/2 size crop make a diff.

If I remember correctly, the morning of August 20, 2004 it froze for 4 hours and hit a low of -4C.


Is anyone seeing a forecast anywhere near that?! I sure hope not......what is Lerner saying??

In the southeast corner of Sask, we just had another two plus inches. I would say fat chance of a frost here, air is to heavy for frost. But then some old timers say it takes a frost to clear thinks up. Who will be right, fact or fiction?

have to disagree the world wheat market is no longer usa centric if usa crops comes in less than expected will cause a ripple in the markets not a tsnami

has to be a black swan event in usa nowadays for market to take notice and its a big big place same as western Canada, like I think Kansas alone produces almost as much as Australia exports in a normal year.

In saying all that aussie crop is getting smaller maybe Canadian crop is getting smaller maybe usa crop is getting smaller and china isn't pretty those factors combined may cause a movement northwards.

Shoot me down in flames id rather harvest a average crop or better with average price say $250 on farm than drought reduced yields and drought premium prices sometimes margin is the same

sorry sask3
