Fert starting to trade lower!

I agree the Americans are starting to ask questions, why because lots of them are not getting credit to buy fertilizer. Its simple and maybe the banks know something about politics after the fed election in US and the reality hits of their huge federal debt maybe they will start to cut certain programs and price supporting measures that farmers now get their. This one is reality don't buy under the current economic situation. Let the Viagra Conagra's cargills adms agrium and Saks potash get a blood bath. They deserve it. Were not seeding for over 7 months from today.

look here boys (people), we had a great crop in north east SK, but that crop is ours! I've got my grain and I am not sinking all my profit from this year to support next year. Next year will have to work on its own. The markets will have to move up or inputs down, or we will use significantly fewer inputs.

cris, we will do the same starting with chemfallow to reduce risk. BTW, red lentils traded up .03/lb recently amid the "crisis".

I don't think the grain companies or Fert and Chem companies or our buyers ate getting it.
I have enough grain to get through this years bills and next years and only will have to sell when I feel the market has reached a point I can live with.
1. Why would I blow all my income to feed Fert and chem and grain companies and produce a huge loss for my farm?
2.With inadequate Income support program in Canada and Pi-- poor crop insurance in Saskatchewan. Why risk everything on nothing.
3. If India and China and Egypt can feed their own go for it. Good luck on that one.
4. Also every day their is starting to be canceled purchases of Fert grain etc from the three mentioned above. They want their cake and eat it too.
5. If I seed all our acres next year with just little starter fert plus little top dress and the hell with every one.
5. Most farmers that watched their costs this past year are in a strong position to look at all possibilities.
