Harvest

[Fransisco]

Anyone can lock in $9.00 plus for canola, a record high price, but for agstar the market is not offering him enough, he needs a handout.

With board grains its seemingly the opposite, we're a buck a bushel behind the rest of the world, it's there for the taking, but no, the wheat board government control vision is more important than farmer returns or self sufficiency. And we keep getting fed the same line of BS about what a wonderful job they are doing getting us 'premiums'.

Agstar is one of the guys responsible for this 'vision-situation' but according to his handmaiden's, like foul-mouthed cotton, we are supposed to simply ignore that little fact of reality.

Well that's obviously not happening now is it? Why? Because agstar the farmer is also agstar the CWB director they are not two separate people they are one and the same.

on and off showers and at times heavy rain up in the peace.....some canola swathed and some cereAls pre harvested.....but otherwise the cool wet weatehr is delaying maturity and the conclusion of the forage grass harvesting which is not yet done....very little winter wheat off, though very small acres in our part of the world

on the topic of marketing, the concern in this area is not the break even price of canola, we make money at $9.00 and even with high costs of production these price levels are a good place to start markeing with an average crop ahead of us to harvest, weather willing.......same with oats and peas.....

what is suprising is talking to the more recent and long term cwb supporters who now say to hell with them...they are awfull choked about the void contracts for $3.70 feed barley....they were all over us to buy it, we signed it, and some liberal appointed judge and are so called freinds helped kill it...i suspect the trade will still fill the contracts with the end users, with the support of the board with whatever fees are attached to get it the hell out of the country, AND THE FARMER WILL TAKE 50 TO 75 CENTS LESS AT THE PIT FOR IT.....GO AHEAD AND HAVE A PLEBICITE NOW.......THE SINLGE DESKS WILL BE DEAD SOON....AND CP WHAT ARE YOU THINKING WITH THE EXPLETIVES AND THEN IN TURN BOASTS, ....YOU INSECURITY SPEAKS VOLUME ABOUT YOUR MATURITY...

have a good day all and good luck with harvest

CP, with your brilliance in the market, I'm wondering if you can tell me when the markets will tip over again. Markets always cycle, and I'm hoping you can tell me when pricing should be finished. It's one thing to call markets higher for years and take credit when the global crop fails and the upward cycle starts, but I really need to know when the good times will be over.

[cottonpicken]

North,scroll up and read the posts besides mine.I have no right to defend myself?

Insecurity?

Do Insecure people stand up to the rabid pack of muts that turn any and all conversations back to the cwb dead horse?

Do Insecure people throw out marketing challenges?

[Zaphod]

Great political response. Avoid the question by redirecting.

I was hoping for more confidence with your market forecast.

[northfarmer]

blah blah blah...speaking of rabid packs, sounds like you belong in one.....

harvest is about taking the crop off and selling it.....any discussion about selling it and making money inevitably revolves around our freedom to market and in turn takes us right back to the CWB debate.....the barley decision being the most recent and relevant.....

the guy who started this thread comingled actual harvest results with marketing and pricing information including fert costs which when he confirms his pricing he will the the price of N is up way up form the pre buy last fall....


i am not saying you cannot defend yourself, knock yourself out, but calling three posters F*&^%$% losers, that is truly an intelligent offering and opens it up for enlightened discussion....

have a good day!

[cottonpicken]

If you want to trivialize my market calls zap would you really expect me to share my thoughts with you?

Could luck with your supply/demand marketing mythology.You'll need it.

By the way calling any market 24 months out is in know way easy.

[Zaphod]

Ducked the question again I see.

I thought your self-proclaimed brilliance needed a bit of a shot, but I am actually curious about when you see this thing turning over. No chart keeps going higher forever or do you see these markets just levelling off and staying at some sort of plateau?

I'm not looking for a date and time, but eventually the bull gets tired and takes a break. When you say 24 months, do you expect that prices will remain supported for that long?

cottonpickin

You did not address my reply/defense about "market progress"

The thrust of my argument is this.., you attacked and you were out of line.

...but then you changed the subject.



....again


I expected a little more substance from you, cotton.

Is there any?

[cottonpicken]

Changing the subject

Thats funny coming from you.

What also makes this funny is wheats performance today.

Oh no,their i go changing the subject again.

[Fransisco]

What makes it a bad joke is the spread between the wheat boards prices and that of US elevators.

Darn, that changing the subject thing is catching.

[Fransisco]

I guess I also shouldn't mention not being able to deliver it when you need to, or being able to grow the most lucrative varieties, or wondering when you are going to get paid.

Hilarious, cotton, hilarious.
