HRS in Canada is Becoming a grain to not grow!

[SASKFARMER3]

Tweety! Live in mud and you will understand! Wheat my once favorite crop is being destroyed by weather and grain companies! They now pick samples with tweezers and magnifying glasses! Protein means shit all it color or plumpness etc! When spraying for disease gives you more bushels but less dollars!
But again you want info here it is!
In the mud zone you gave to cut your Fert back from wheat or you will have the thickest healthiest barley you ever saw till the first thee inch rain that put it flat on the ground, throw in a hurricane wind and results are its ducked!
So Fert is less!
No spraying for midge!
Disease is cheaper control with tilt or even Aceppella at heading!
Yes same sees treatment and cheaper seed cost with barley!
Less cost crop insurance! Trucking usually a wash since if feed its fob!
No desicating but swath! Similar
But the big one no bullshit if it's malt its malt if it's feed its feed! No games no more bullshit!
Once whest goes to new way with seed costs my answer is easy drop the crop!
So yes if your in a marginal rain area that has had 8 great rain years it works that's was us up till the rains arrived!
Ever wonder why broad acre and one earth failed in our area! A once great growing grain area has been destroyed by rain and all these expensive managers can't pull good weather out of their spreadsheets!
Adapt or fail! Excess moisture sucks and I never would wish this shit on anyone!
Wheat is finished and acreage will be down in 2015, all thanks to shitty grading by grain industry to pas their coffers! Kill the supplier the supplier finally quits! It will happen watch!
Now bring on a drought for a few years and we would be back!

I am growing CPS for pigs next year. Hog barn is paying 5 bucks or more. No grade worries that way.

[SASKFARMER3]

That's what I say free wheat! Pigs are fine and so are others its bullshit because all know it's moving for a good price and no grade challenge to fed people! It's a scam and it works! Because how does a rail car leave sask and make it to vancouver and on a boat gets unloaded and no ship rejected!
Pigs don't complain

[Braveheart]

Pigs do complain. We raised them for 18 years. They have no tolerance for vomitoxin.

Be careful with CPS for hogs if you are in a fusarium area.

[SASKFARMER3]

It's not grading down for vomi!

[Braveheart]

My post was actually for Freewheat. There is some risk targeting the feed market with CPS if you are in a fusarium area.

[Braveheart]

SF3, I'm curious as to why grade even matters anymore. If your wheat has falling numbers over 300, and your protein is 13.5 or whatever, and they're willing to pay x, then what difference what the grade is?

Price on the specs. Moisture, falling numbers and px should be the main specs. Vomi or ergot negotiable.

[farmaholic]

Braveheart, couldn't agree more regarding specs. But don't let them tell you those specs(grade?????) don't matter and it's only price that matters. And yes it is price in the end, BUT do the specs matter to the end user? You bet, and they are going to want to get the specs they paid for. It is all related--specs and price and I think the Graincos are trying to seperate them when they want you to focus only on price.

....okay let me have it.

SF3, Barley at 80 x 3 or 80 x 5 malt is money.

I don't know how you would achieve that yield or quality if your already having problems with disease in wheat. We're 1.5-2hrs south of you, and there's very little grown here now on that account. Disease in barley means feeders don't want it, nor do maltsters.

Thought it would be interesting to update the latest receipts at the terminal elevators. Number 2 covers the majority of deliveries, #3 is steadily climbing and it looks like #1 will all but disappear if it keeps declining at this rate. Feed grade actually was down this week and is still a very small percentage of total wheat received at the terminals.

If a guy does know he has some #1 he might be leaving it in his bin hoping the price will go up.
Feed might be staying in the bin/bag too because of poor prices.

Used to be able to see the "upgrade" at the port credit on canola on the old prairie pools/UGG financial statements.
At that time they made more on"upgrading" than they did on port handling charges.
Pound maker feedlot used to be a good reference price for CPS. They are very efficient users but had some kind of bonus system for shareholders.

[wmoebis]

Greybeard you are right and those upgrades came back to produces directly or indirectly through dividend checks. Also the money that was made on dockage was included on those checks.

Then after the grain was upgraded producers got that benefit through interm and final payments from the CWB although that didn't seem to be enough some times.
