7 Silver Linings For Ag In 2016

Saskcanfarmer you nailed it. Ships come in unload and then wait for next load anchored off shore.

There is a reason that ocean freight rates are so low.

But according to bucket it is probably Brad Walls fault too.

As others have said it is likely that not all those ships have contracts, they are just hanging around because of nothing else to do. Still bags in the field here and there is likely a stalemate between what broke buyers can afford to pay and what farmers want for the remaining inventory so shipping is slowed down for now. If the dollar falls to 0.60 problem solved.

Get to drive a big pickup truck....one of my silver linings.

Yes it is likely going to get financially more challenging before it gets better.

Tighten down and enjoy the simple things in life.

Have a safe spring everyone.
