grading lentils will be a beeatch this year, they better be perfect!
Ones that aren't will stay in the bin, there'll just be too many for buyers to choose from.

World wheat markets are playing this excess wheat situation perfectly.
Don't forget that the majority of carryover is in China (doesnt matter)and The USA (matters).
Good quality Canadian wheat wiĺl be in demand once the crop size and quality becomes known. Prices will need to compete with US but it will be moving. Worst thing that could happen is for weather to wreck the Canadian wheat harvest. Of course that's always bad but this year it would be really really bad.

Mother Nature will take care of the surplus. Just get em in the bin. Probably 1/3 of the lentils are planted where they never should have been. Just looking around our area. Many fields are marginal to say the least. Not saying there are afew hum dingers, but a lot of small, yellow, weedy messes, too.

Why anyone would give them the time of day a beyond me!! They've been calling me for a month I answered the phone once told them I was busy told them to call back in Dec. Now they send me some burning material to fill out. That will be the day.

I avoided them like the plague. Same here called and called and called. Wouldn't answer. Get the info from Crap Insurance. ....it will be more accurate than the line of bullshit most guys feed them. There's enough of a cross section of Producers in it to give a fairly accurate reflection. But none of it is my info!
