Yeah, Statscan hiding #'s on some special crops as usual, i.e terminated.
Kept secret for special growers?

So, December wheat stocks in Canada are down, the USD is down
and MW is up a big one and a quarter cents. Oh boy.

While not too encouraging it is worth saying that a close above
5.00H today would signal some stability and may bring forward
some short covering.

Thursday at the close: So much for that!

How about the mustard stocks?

So your buyer walks away. Strategy?

Hoarding. Interesting strategy.

Best investment on the farm.. bins.

you got that right , and grain baggers are a necessary evil also

Our neighbour used to say bins with aeration and a grain dryer easily takes the place of an extra combine. You can combine days earlier at 20% plus and let the drying power do the rest.
