West of Lethbridge we have had 6mm since June 15

Now that's something to whine about!

This thread is about commodity marketing. I like to hear how everyone is doing around the prairies so maybe I can make a better decision on pricing our grains.. When you farm small acreages like us it's even more important to make the best of production and marketing.

So when SF3 or anyone else describes their situation I appreciate it. The ranting or hyperbole means nothing to me, it just makes for a more interesting thread. We live in an area where a good crop for us is only fair to others but we make a decent living. Some farmers make more some less, its like that in every walk of life. We've only had 1 big crop in the last 4 years but that doesn't mean I hate all those areas with big crops and call them out for it when they post about it. I just want to know!

I need to know what's going on around the region and the world. And where better than listening to actual producers than the "fake media/traders" . Last year I was able to sell all our wheat for a #2 and average about $7.85. Lowest price on one load 6.80, highest 8.45 and this came from getting a feel for what was going on for wheat production and basis levels then making a pricing decision. Need to make a good call again with this short crop. Made to many bad ones over the years.

And one other thing could everyone please proof read their posts, the poor English and sentence structure makes some posts almost impossible to understand.

Everybody has different problems in life.


I don't think it's fair to keep dogpiling on SF3...


This is a nice place to destress sometimes... I'm not on as much as I used to be enough problem of our own.


Klausette's grandpa passed away this spring... We just about lost her other grandpa from super high blood sugar (and he was never a diabetic)


Then right before seeding Dad has a coronary event... He's got surgery scheduled


Our hired help from the UK has his own issues and bailed on us May 10th.


My mom was diagnosed with stage 2 cancer last week.




So crops being heat stressed are sometimes the least of a farmers worries.

Stamps, I don't really think a lot of posters here are for grain marketing. This is more of a coffeeshop for those that live too far to drive twice a day, for the latest gossip.

HRS wheat is down $0.32/bushel CAD today and nobody notices !

Klause, take care. Best to your family.
I know only too well when family health issues are front and center there's no time for anything.

[danny W1M]

Whoopps, looks like I spoke too soon, seems to be going even lower !

[Partners]

Correct Klause..health issues far more important than who got what amount of rain..
We all have our own issues.

Wheats dropping like a stone so they can screw all the guys off the combine in a month. But nothing has changed for the better the drought continues. Australia still dry yields are down protein is tough find and snowed and froZe in some parts of South America but all is good just a great big magical day!
