    Hobbyfarmer is bang on. Not sure how you change it though. Our area is best suited to barley but as BP says, it's unprofitable. Story from feeders this winter was they were well covered, didn't book much ahead and low balled price. Last week I had 3 brokers call scrambling for barley to cover contracts but still won't pay for it? Someone must be willing to grow it for nothing.

      For every 10 farms there will be 10 different cost structures. I know several who grow feed. I know many who plant malt with a dont givadarn attitude. I believe looking for someone to bear fault is a box canyon. If we want our jobs in the future lets help kick science in the butt. More crops, smarter crops, unique crops. Screw barley. Anybody can grow a few bushels. Few can profit. Let them.

      Original post. Canola yields could yet average. Seeded acres not so likely in the canola belt.

        And here we would be discounted on feed barley because of freight to where its needed! Then throw in the the infamous "vomi" and hogs can't eat much of it.

        Got to wonder what this winter's canola market will look like, I can tell you that our crop already has been reduced, droughtish, frost, stranded seeds, bugs and I think all the rain in the world won't make up for lost potential due to the shitty start its getting.
