Planting Intentions 18

[farmaholic]

You can pencil all you want, only when Mother Nature is done playing her last card in the 2018 game will we know what we need to be profitable.

.....best laid plans of mice and men.

Use the best information at your disposal but be prepared to adjust your expectations.

How do you think alfalfa pencils out on average?

For bales or for seed?

See sask has malt barley i cant speak for you guys but malt is pretty well off the radar here.
Hard to get the grade and feed types yeild sometime 15% more to make up for price shortfall.

H2 wheat here yesterday 11.5 to 13% protien hit $303 delivered packers for container trade.
$20 haul to port good money

Yea thats a decent price for 11.5 hrs.

The Elevators are getting that at the coast and giving us just over 6.

Last year $2/#,this year $.95 , now its $.65/lb To much of it. Some are hetting $100/ac from dehy here . Hard to get seed here when its wet but this year eas the best we ever had so its gone , good moneymaker this year. Low inputs. Really good for land for years after its taken out

Playing a really long game and one that's very diversified.

We see what's coming... And are trying to find our niches in veggies organics and food to table and direct to export.

Lots of money to be made. Just drop the stupid commodity game... If I wanna play that I'd move to a country where farmland is close to a port.


Organic wheat yesterday dumped in Saskatoon was $18 per bushel.

I'll explain later on the road.
