Klause you are correct!!! In the last 5 years I have lost
A child at a young age (5 months old)
My mother 5 years ago
My father 2 years ago
My mother in law 2 years ago
Father In Law- Massive heart attack
And my grandmother (99 years old)
And the real shitty part in all this bullshit is I'am only 36.
So if anyone thinks they are having a bad day PM me and I will give you my cell #
And I will tell you what a shitty day is!!!!!!!!
Sure drought and flooding take there toll, but really it's just a crop. Family is everything and people like me have very little family left at a young age. So everyone please think about it.

If I had a commodity account and money to lose I'd go long on mgex wheat today but wonder if a position on cad would be necessary to cover risk. Options are low risk but low reward and don't have enough moola to cover a margin call. Guy just has to sit with bins locked if it can be done until market manipulators push the market up. Even my area where moisture is good a lot won't be worth a shit if we don't get heat or get a frost, and it'll be plain late anyway. The market will probably be held down until after harvest for easy pickings.

.....more crazy talk!!!! Shame on you WiltonRanch.

I'm going long tinfoil!

Edit....Ok, I will defend wider basis to thwart deliveries

"Push" grain onto the market....wide basis
"Pull" grain into the market..... narrow basis

I just about got swept out to sea with them negative waves.

Oh hallelujah!

Give me a break.

Just stating a fact you can't grow a crop with no rain in July. Am I not correct.

It's not about holidays you NDP hacks it's about rain and you can't grow a crop with zero rain in July.

Never have we missed rain in July. Never.

I know yields will be down.

Funny thing even areas with decent rain the crops aren't that stellar.

Oh canola just at Cabadge in the north and wheat heading, yea that's going to add yield.

"Just stating a fact you can't grow a crop with no rain in July" You think we can't figure out that on our own????? So no...sorry, your just floundering around trying to come up with something to say, not just stating fact.

You got what you asked for....along with everything else that people throw at you on here. Deal with it.

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!

It rained in and around Winnipeg last night. Western Canadian wheat crop is made.

Good point sir. Puts it in perspective. I'm the same age. That's just heavy. Takes fortitude to talk about that stuff here. Hear all that what don't kill you makes you stronger stuff but until you face it yourself you just don't know how it feels. Grief losing 1 is enough but a whammy like that.

This weather pattern in the 30's had many farmers moving up here to farm. Rain rarely misses the NE corner. Been TOO wet since 2010. BIG water still BIG, check Quill Lake levels. But it is always COLDER, freezes sooner, and harvest is always later, just can't have it perfect. Kelvington at 8.6" rainfall, highest in the province, isolated spots more than that. Drown outs on 10%.
Sorry to hear of the crop losses. But our determining crop factor will be frost date.

someone's off there, actually north of carrot River/Tobin lake is in excess of 16" since spring , on top of the 40+or- " last growing season . very little crop in those areas

Geez some of you are relentless I wish you would drop it already.
