No premium for high protein Durum

[JDGreen]

Durum at Melfort ??? Ya right... Might be good for 10 million acres but 4 million goes straight to feed market.. It is nearly impossible to grow a #1 Cwad in a dry hot summer in SW Sask let alone in the higher moisture black soil zones. As far as protein premiums will keep a good portion of 2015 high px production for blending purposes in the future. Might not be the exact right train of thought with prices at $9 plus, however have seen the benefit in a number of years when shortage of good protein. Spin the wheel where it stops nobody knows ...

Yes they were doing it in the 90's fairly consistently. Typically 2 or 3 but did get #1 once in 98 which was a dry year in that area.

With the agronomy practiced today you would have an unbelievable lodged flat crop.1990 is 25 years ago.

That's exactly right Newguy.. Flat diseased out shit that no fungicide can save

As I said this spring.Durum market is not amount seeded it is how much is harvested in good shape.Basically no carry over of good durum but North Dakota and Sask got a fair bit of good quality this year.With the last % not grading very well price should old it's own.
