malt barely
Neil Townsend gave the presentattion here, at GW. Quite the chip on his shoulder. If barley wasn't going to be free soon would have challenged him on his malt pro.
For me south central AB it is $6.70 after deductions. Canada Malt and RARH have a program out of $6.75 minimum price contract. IF we go into the new crop year with barley still under the CWB, that is your minimum price. And you are in the traditional pool.
If all works and we have barley freedom prior to Aug first that is your garunteed price. CWB Townsend was out to lunch, saying supplies will normalize. Prices will then come down.
Not what Tim from England said at the WBGA convention! I believe he said prices will be strong so will demand as it is growing by 500,000 tonnes a year.
Townsend tried to take a shot at the grain companies for selling thier 800,000 t of feed in the summer, slammed them for not getting a good price for farmers. Hmm I thought it was good, was the CWB in the feed market at that time? oh right, forgot, they pulled out of the market, took there ball home as the big bad proactive players were not "playing fair".
Mood in the room is the sound of a clock ticking down, time is almost up. It is on barley and every one was saying when will it be for wheat ? comments CWB ??
