No wonder the chinese symbol for crisis and opportunity is the same.

Cotton I talked to my dealer and mentioned that fertilizer should be coming down because the fertilizer company shares are crashing. I mentioned that their income is dropping that is why their shares are dropping. He told me their shares were high because of speculators and they are low because of speculators, I thought to tell him I wasn't born yesterday sure speculators move the share prices but when you can sell fertilizer for double the year before your shares should be worth much more. I am not sure we can get cheaper fertilizer from the local suppliers.

So, the gold was up 2.6% on a margined account. That makes sense. Otherwise, you're obviously short rye.

CP this is kind of funny. I bought Deere friday. I also bought Beans yesterday while they weren't limit, thinking that Canola is going to be the weak sister. Sticking with calls.

Looking for a bounce, probably in the 30% range. Hopefully we found a bottom.

But if we haven't, and Beans drop to $7.00 I'm thinking you throw as much money as you can afford to at this thing, as it would be the closest thing to free money as yo could get

Hopper, FERTILIZER WILL DROP!!! I'm looking for a $250-300/ton drop in 46.

My Gawd, this forum is full of bloody gamblers. Why gamble on the farm business?...just gamble on the stock market...never have to get your hands dirty.

a good column by diane francis. i wonder if the $42 trillion she speaks of isn't what has inflated our economy for years and now that we're seeing the leakage what will be next. cotton sees massive printing of money and it searching for tangible assets but the inflation in oil, gold and other commodities we saw this past year could have been the blowoff top in commodities. the economy showed it's too weak to withstand the shock of rapidly rising price levels. either way we end up at the same point in the future of a collapsed economy.

This thread explains the CWB debate to a T! Cottonpicken, Zaphod and the likes are looking at the opportunities in this economic dilema while Wilagro, AgStar are constantly talking about the negatives. Note the similarites with who is in favor of having the CWB look after them and who sees opportunites on their own.
