    NO Buyers of our Product.

    I have been on the phone the last few weeks and am finding it amazing how the market feels were producing a bumper crop all over the world so lets wait and see about buying product.
    Lock the bins boys sell what you need because the US farmers are saying the same thing I have all summer its a average crop in Canada, USA, Australia, And Argentina. Europe has quality problems etc. Canada will join that group if we get another week of rain like Accuweather is talking about.
    Reading also how Australia has had about 10 frost nights in August, Isn't their wheat heading now and canola in full flowering. Oh yea they will make a 24 million ton wheat crop. Oh also India is flooding isn't that going to damage their crops. Argentina is dry wounder how their massive production is coming.
    Yes the speculators created the bonus month of February for farmers, But the facts remain the same production will not increase the worlds stocks this year.
    Oil is down hard this morning and so are the grains and oil seeds. Speculators are the ones that ramped up oil to almost 150 a barrel.
    Fertilizer will be the next crash its coming watch as china or India will re neg on huge contact.
    Any way back to initial post, Markets believe farmers need huge amounts of cash this fall for bills and most did not lock in futures prices for their product so will have to liquidate to pay their bills. That came from a trader on Canola this week, I forget the guys name.
    But also is all this nonsense because of the US election and Indian election year?
    Now yes If I was a buyer and all I heard was how wonderful the crops are do you think I wouldn't be buying product either. But I think this strategy is going to bite them in the Ass later on.

        How long have most been saying that western canada does not have a bumper crop? Pretty much since the crop came out of the ground - right?

        Apparently analysts and experts (with the exception of mr weber) are illiterate. If we can get a below average yield in good shape the markets will reward us nicely if we show restraint in selling.

        Of course the exception to this is board grain where the cwb has already sold too much of what they don't have. The durum yields are not great in the states and the cwb is lowering returns which indicates they have made some awful sales to algeria already or they are still filling that order at depressed prices.

          I think we should all go down to our local elevator/terminal and put in some canola target prices of $18 for Oct and $21 for Jan. They can laugh when we do it but it tells them what we want/need to be able to grow more for next year.And if most can hold off sales we might get them thinking.
          I cant see growing canola next year if i don't get about $18/bushel. The risk and cost to grow are way to high for our area where we get between 10 and 35 bushel/acre and that can be on different fields in the same year or the whole farm. Barley(feed unless open market on malt), Soft white/ethanol wheats, oats, and flax look cheaper to grow and more predictable prices and yields ( NO CWB CROPS FOR ME EVER AGAIN).
          Might just go do a $21 Jan target on 10 000 bushels of canola this morn, If it freezes in northeast SK or soybean states it might even trigger !!

          END the MONOPOLY!!!. Good word for it as it seems like a game for them!!!!

            I'm Southeast of Calgary, I have priced half my Peas
            and 25% of my Canola for Sept. delivery. Problem is
            our elevators are full of Wheat. There has been very
            little movement of wheat the last 45 days. Is it
            because we voted for Chattnay and we are being
            punished pro choice? Now non board grains suffer
            untill we move some wheat. Just one year I would like
            to see empty terminals going into harvest. Does
            anyone else have the same problems in their region?
