Tom...wouldn't trade for else where, and am thankful each day....even if the Cons were back in power....another correct label ;-)
Time to do some chores....gotta love it when the weather is like this!

Well regardless of the politics I did have a 42 basis for a 2 13 hit this morning. (Yorkton)

End of December Mallee said that Australia was cutting
production forecasts for their wheat crop.

While there was one cut in the Nov/15 WASDE, today's
report made no adjustments to Aussie wheat.

Today's price action looks like a response to sharply
lower wheat acres in the US and not much else.

Sk3, not trudeaus fault (yet), its harpers fault for doing all possible to turn canada into a oil backed currency.

As for a 69 cent dollar, i no longer consider $7 new crop wheat or $11 canola good enough to lock in. What is the list price of a s690 now?

[Hamloc]

MB grower the Canadian dollar has mirrored the price of oil for over thirty years, to blame this on Harper is laughable. Look up the value of the dollar in 85-86 when oil was 10 dollars a barrel!

[farmaholic]

Hamloc.....in 85/86 the low dollar would have been the Progressive Conservative's fault..... according to some logic here.

[SASKFARMER3]

Agree we need 7 or better for wheat and 12 for canola.

Canadian dollar February 1986 .6913 usd, the price of west Texas crude was 15.40 a barrel do you see the pattern. Harper was not running Canada in 1986.

[riders2010]

Well where is all the wealth from the 110 barrel years? That's how it's supposed to work isn't it
A short blip and fk you canada is oil people we re packing it in. I don't see wages lowered in the oil sector they just shut down.

Pump prices still way too high what a joke.

Harper had 10 years to do something. Did nothing. His priorities and expertise was the economy. Did he move us away from oil, or closer to it?
