Agstar:

Yes - all figures I've shown you are in Canadian dollars.

It's the only way to do it - compare apple to apples.

Maybe neither of them know .

The price had more to do with the Corn price than anything else.
The Barley price started dropping a few days after the Feds announced it was removing Barley from cwb. It continued on its slide thru to the CWB court decision and it Kept sliding.

The price of corn during this time had also been falling . Anyone who tells you that it had Anything to with the CWB- whether barley was in or was out is either sadly mistaken or INTENTIONALLY Misleading
Get over it boys

Sorry mus you can talk about corn futures all day long but its the cash barley price comparison in these charts...

...that tells the story.

Before marketing choice was announced we were $20 per tonne under the Montana price, after we got close to 40 bucks over. Then after the judgment 'boom' we were back to $20 under, and now we're like $70 under.

Marketing choice goes out the window and so does 100 bucks a tonne on barley.

On August 1 our cash price dropped something like 30 to 35 bucks a tonne. The Montana price didn't move an inch and you want to try and tell us it's all because of corn futures?

That theory holds about as much water as a hula hoop.

Mustardman,

Barley is non-GMO.

Barley makes very good camel/pet food.

Barley is short in supply... and high quality barley is difficult to buy.

Please tell me why the Aussies could extract over $400/t for ABB feed barley... the voluntary pool 1 average...

While the CWB pool 1 is $150/t lower.
