Did any of the marketing experts call the grain price drop?

[theplowboy]

Just wondering.

We sold some grain before, just had a bad feeling.

I did not see too many experts ringing the alarm ahead of the report.

[Klause]

I had a suspicion... we sold the last of
our 2012 crop about 12 days ago... glad we
did!

Errol had been calling for grain price corrections
since around December.

Most AV'ers spent their time kicking him in the
coins .

Emptied the bins 2 weeks ago..USDA always finds more bushels..

[sumdumguy]

I rember Errol a few weeks back, you all mocked
the marketers, they were trying to manipulate
you. Market cycles repeat.

[cottonpicken]

The market is now fully manipulated.

Welcome To Reality - BullShit Based Grain Markets!!!!!!!! error - Even a Broken Clock is Right Twice per Day!!!!!!!! Marketing Experts, ahahahahahaha, More Like Leeches of The Industry!!!!!!!! If These Marketeers were So Smart They'd all Be Millionaires, n' Wouldn't Be Sucking Off Joe The Dumb F#ckin Farmer's TIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dalek]

They all did, the day after it happened.
Contracted 50% of my 2013 crop in the 2 weeks
leading up to it, who knows if it'll be the right thing
come fall but by my usual philosophy, if it's the worst
sale I make I can live with it and if it isn't I'll be glad I
did it.

you haven't lost money until you sell. If its dry in the US this summer the bin bottoms will make serious cash.

Corn could be $4 or $10, depends on weather, which is not so great at the moment.
A year ago all we heard was early planting of record acres = record bushels,lower prices.
We will know in 6 months.

Do any of you subscribe to DTN or other grain
marketing expert analysis?
I've had DTN contacting me and offering a free
trial lately.......their company appears to be more
geared to a farmer from Iowa than Western
Canada.

Weber commodities daily email newsletter works
for me.

Oliver,

I have the Canadian edition of DTN online.

If you check out Larry Webers website you can get
about 20-40 percent ('free') of the info the DTN online
package has brought in from DTN (depends what they
choose to put up).

The DTN full edition has nice added information...
more good Canadian marketing info... I like the extra
US info as well: as where the US markets go... usually
the markets up here are not far behind. Fert and Fuel
info at times. Ask for a trial... I think they will give you
a free month if you ask.

Cheers

Thanks for the input Hobbyfarner and Tom.

The only issue I had with DTN was that they didn't
have any information for oats or barley.
