Crop Production Week

[ajl]

Most oil producers are price takers as well as farmers. AB sludge was selling for $30 Us a couple of weeks ago because it was hard to get rid off due to Keystone pipeline outage. Most do hedge on futures markets a fair bit which is easier to do when weather is not a total wildcard. They can be affected by weather too.

but some of the logic remains ....there may be guys making money with 6 buck peas....they might live in Russia though. ..

Correct...But precious little can be done about the price of peas in Russia.

Well we could have not sold them the seed...


Buy otherwise... Yeah.


Once the silk road is complete we are done. Russia to China for $11 in freight.

They get $8 we get $5 because of freight differences.

Not to mention a higher yielding higher producing climate and geography.

Yuuup!!!!!! You hit the nail right on the head.....


Russia has the crow rate to create wealth while Canada redistributes it....thru graincos and railways....

Tearing up infrastructure that those countries would love to have and they will while we have leaders with their head up their ass. ...

Ultimately Canada has lost sight of what matters.

We will likely see more trade protectionism in the near future. Hopefully after the next election in Canada.

Maybe even more reverse vertical integration with end users which would be nice to see.

Just the landscape we have now.

Back to the main topic, not at the show but heard from a few buddies it's pretty good this year. Even with the negativity. Not much for prices though.

[Oliver88]

Any good prices to report on old crop prices or new crop contracts?

What's the "mood" at the show?

Large crowd today, lots of good booths.

Unfortunately too many booths selling liquid snake oil that you can magically dump into your sprayer tank for a 3:1 ROI. 🙈

O88, whose price board is that? PM me if you don't want to say publicly.

Because the number of vendors is directly proportional to just how naive and puppy dog trusting farmers are of what they say and are actually buying it. For sure, keep adding that LI700. That pretty orange is what matters......

And why not, it's obvious farmers have more money then they know what to do with - contrary to the whiners on Agriville, so may as well give it to these jokesters.

Two words - critical thinking. Give it a try sometime.

How do you really feel about these products? 😂

Care to estimate on the margin on sales for these 3:1 magic additives?!
