Realistically What happens if Manitoba and Eastern Sask don't seed.

[SASKFARMER3]

Charlie or someone explain what would happen if wet weather continues, were going to be done with dry ground in a matter of days after we get going again. Talked at funeral yesterday to a bunch of guys and most say will be lucky to get 1/3 in for our area. Most seeded all land last year. Also its a running joke, Yea finished seeding that quarter over their and over their and over their. Yea first had 55 acres second 82 third 75 and had a good one on fourth it had 100. Now with the flooding in Manitoba and extreme wet in Saskatchewan that leaves Alberta. Hm
Where will Canola flax oats and Barley all go. HRS and Durum. We are dropping durum if not in ground by Sunday. Then will switch those acres to HRS.
Lentils are non existent and peas are down by at least 2/3.

Apparently the market the last couple of days says they don't need what can be grown over there, and they don't care that it is May 12 and there is a lot of seed waiting in the bin or bag in alberta too!

Yesterdays USDA report was an excuse but the market has been in
a slight down trend for a while. Mostly related to a economic
concerns and the declines in crude prices. Open interest and daily
trading volumes have been declining - less interest by the
funds/money flowing into commodities. Being long commodities
was a license to print money but that gravy train seems to have
stopped for the moment. May start again but many factors will
influence this.

Will be an interesting year. Seeding delays and potential crop that
won't get seeded here and the Dakotas. Late in the Midwest corn
areas. Dry in Northern Europe.

Will be a time of uncertainty and not pricing new if you are unsure
about what will be seeded in the next couple of weeks. If you are
able to get crop seeded, would still have price targets and
discipline to sell new crop when achieved. Options strategies are
likely a good tool to have in the tool box.

SF3, Nothing will happen. I was a conventional farmer for 15 years and not matter how serious the dilema in Sask, nothing substantial would happen. They will find 40 billion bushels of corn in a quonset in China and the market will remain neutral. The industry does not like high prices, the more they pay the farmer, the less profit they have for themselves. That cant last for too long. These companies have salaries to pay, taxes, overhead, shareholders etc.

Ken Ball's (Union Security) thought from his newsletter this am.

Begin quote.

USDA REPORT = The report really did not contain any tremendously bearish information, and it was not the reason the grains and oilseeds saw pressure yesterday. Rather it was a combination of factors that were all negative, together they added up to liquidation of speculative long positions. The corn stats in the report were a bit negative, and they combined with a very strong USD, very weak crude oil, weak equity and metals markets, and also the perception that weather outlooks are at least getting moderately better overall, although much of the US mid-west still has quite a bit of precipitation in the outlooks.

End quote.

Lentils catch up pretty fast, in 1986, we planted
eston lentils on June 19 - best crop ever. Lots of
good weather between Now and June.(20 days)

I'll tell yous reality. Open the God Damn Gates on the Dams on the Nelson River to get the water down or I'll blow the ****ing things up. & thats a Fact. Blame all the water problems on Manitoba Hydro & the SOB NDP........

Hobbyfarmer, I agree with you 100%.
High prices are not a good thing, when
it relates to farmin. There'll be some
sort of announcement like, now people
kin eat Green Slime, fer protein. Or
they no longer need malt barley to brew
beer, they use some chemicals instead.
Somethin like meat glue. The world
doesn't need grain, we kin switch to
nuts instead!!! Nope grain prices are
headed down, that fer sure! People
gotta buy gas and lectronic shit to keep
the economy chuggin...........
