    Getting ugly how much more pain?

    How much lower can wheat barley go experts out there?
    How much bigger can the worldwide crop get we can all have pockets of poor crops etc etc but in big picture doesn't change the trend?
    Farmer may react next year by not planting the above crops but still will be to years before balance sheets change?

    I guess people eating less bread and Asians less noodles etc as the get a more protien based diet

    Ahhh yes, on a year I ramped up wheat and durum acres to balance things out or slow down the specialty crop rotation...SHIT!

    I better see some decent volume and quality to offset the prices.

      Fertilize more, use a fungicide, add some micros, don't make any chemfellow. Have a neighbour say to me he would sooner combine 30 bu/ac and get $10 bu then have a monster crop. Less trucking, freight, etc. The more we add to a crop the more we grow, the cheaper the end user gets it for.

        I grow less than 10% of my acres in wheat. I found more crops to curse at.

          Often said I would rather have bins 1/2 full of $10 wheat than full of $5 wheat. But was told I was crazy too, never sell it!

            mallee . . . there's still more pain or cheering depending if you are a buyer or seller coming down-the-pipe.

            Ukraine grain production in July has been estimated more than 60% above year ago levels. Cheaper Montana wheat is now finding its way up to Alberta feedlots (very rare). As a result, wheat basis levels have weakened considerably of late.

            And feedlot barley bids are in-collapse right now. Lethbridge-area feedlots have dropped prices a further $10/MT over the past week. This may have a direct impact on malt barley prices.
            This is a much needed welcomed feed price break for feeders.

              Haven't seen the price of a steak drop.

              Funny how that works.

                Could be multi year lows two years perhaps.
