Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

Meanwhile how are the railway and grain cos doing in clearing the backlog at West coast....thunder bay is open movement should have doubled.....

As far as ships in port they are likely 3 or 4 days behind. I have no doubt that opportunities were lost this winter/early spring
Country elevator stocks are dropping every week but higher than they were last year at this time

Seeding just started here east of Edmonton but is now interrupted by showers. Looks like a a small amount and then nice weather. Condition here assuming this rain doesn't go on for two weeks and dump 5 inches are just about perfect. Still some wet areas to go around but much smaller than they have been.

We don’t hear too much about the hay crop - no need to get the baler out here.

It’s pretty lonely out on the ol’ prairie. One farmer next to us seeds 10,000 acres with one drill. Another one seeds 50,000 with 3 drills. And so the neighbours are - gone to greener pastures.

Inevitable outcome of artificially low interest rates. Dead communities and no neighbors. Much of the prairies will be uninhabitable soon. No way some of these seeding monstrosities would be economic if there wasn't cheap debt. Oh well damage has been done. Still some smaller farmers around here and I like that for as long as it lasts.

Whats the longest vessel wait now and how much is waiting?

over a million tonnes waiting to be loaded?

Current stocks levels and space at west coast?

Insight is helpful but this should be a public weekly publication just like SF3 reports.


Free as well. He tells the world more in a paragraph than most of the experts for free....He is such a kind and generous guy..lol...Why I am not sure because everyone follows his lead and reports their progress as well....for free.

Any info I would want would cost me dearly plus they expect me to pay to give them my data...

Make the industry work for or pay for this free info....

Bucket, just about as bad as reporting everything we do is letting the Companies post their product signs on our land for FREE! But look at me and my beaufiful crop!!!! Companies marketing and advertising using farmer's ego...for FREE! LOL, no wonder!

The other day I inquired about paying my bill with a credit card...nope. Costs them too much...all while the Industry travels on hot holidays if sales commitments are met. Who the **** is taking the risk?

A fool and his money can easily be parted.

How many farmers gone from that 60,000 since settlement, 100? Getting empty is right.
