HRSW and SWSW

I see an opportunity for you to grow high value organic hrsw.

They have taken away the ability for average guys like me to make a return on it. We are always told we compete against the black Sea values.

Wheat will disappear on this farm.

Then it's just a matter of time before good quality durum won't be needed either.

Canola input costs prohibit it on this farm.

I believe furrow that they are downgrading ours due to drought stress causing shrivelled seeds. Heat stress u name it they find a reason to screw us. Every year a different bullshit story.

Farmaholic,
I stopped growing wheat in my conventional years. I truly do not understand the romance with HRSW . It used to be the cash flow issues of the CWB, the visual grading, no delivery space, on and on.
The line companies dreamed up "heat shrink/stress" after a couple of harvest where it did not freeze until all the crop was off. IMO heat stress is a very good indicator of higher protein levels. Naturally this would lead to more valuable grain for the farmer so that cant happen. Downgrade it, then pretend like there is no room in the elevator for such an unpleasant thing. Wait 5 weeks, call farmer and say you are in luck we can buy it at a slightly less discount so more money for you. Ugh.
I have seen this movie over and over and over and over and over and over

.....and over and over and over and over again!

Sorry for being such and ass but I still despise the conventional buying system and what they are doing to the farmers.

New crop forward contracting used to be one way to offset harvest time low price pressure but the contracts are one sided where the farmer still carries the majority of the price risk.
There are people on here that understand how to use the futures market, options and pricing tools. Unfortunatley I have yet to understand them with enough confidence to use them. Thankfully I stepped off "the ride" . I talk smack online but I am usually fairly polite with retailers and line company employees because I am undncumbered of them and usually my conversations end with "no thank you, I am satisfied with my shitty crops".

Grow Pasteur now. 100 yirld potential nice and short. Big heads.


Can ship it internationally as a milling wheat, the US has no issues and the local feed mills an dig barns go gaga over it because it doesn't cake.
