Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

Most have Dryers up in the NW furrow?

[Guest]

Have dried 35000 bu already
Wheat wont dry , sprayed 3 weeks
Finally got oats to 13.5 yesterday

[furrowtickler]

Maybe 10-15% of the guys have driers
Elevators are offering very good deals on drying , canola or wheat. But needs to be 17 ish or less. Most wheat not there yet as of yesterday. And they need canola very bad but it barely got below 12 yesterday for the most part. They have trains to fill and very little to draw from. Not sure if it just local or what but there is zero canola carryover here, that’s what makes the stocks number so hard to believe.
Some early seeded canola that’s been swathed for 3 weeks barely got dry yesterday. But that represents a very small portion of canola acres in general.

Most wheat was still over 17 as of late yesterday. Going to be one of those years. We have been very fortunate that past few years with an abundance of dry grains , will be a “tough” harvest for a while yet .

Raise the canola price if they want to pry the imaginary carryover stocks out of tight hands. **** me, $10.50/bu won't do it!!!!!!

I agree on carry out area was empty Btos first empty. Rest when it hit 12.

Good luck next week looks ugly.

Even our area

That’s exactly the the point . Something simply does not add up at all .

Harvest here virtually at a standstill. Did a quarter of early seeded barley down for 3 weeks. Tried first cut canola 19.5%. Forecast me thinks looks like October is the month. Some pockets around here guys haven’t got peas off yet. That smoke messed everything up. Guys who did preharvest glyphosate are swathing everything cause nothing is dying. I hear that sell the swather ad and I’d like to find that condescending asshole and shove a handful of green second growth wheat where the sun don’t shine. Generally I’m a positive guy but when October harvest looms I get bitchy. Suppose by then the reefer will be legal and that may help. Lol

August was too hot and dry too long . September going to suck , seen it before

Never did dry here. Lucky it was dry enough in July to make hay but about it for decent weather. Raining right now. Fml

Yup we just got er too , frost and rain costing producers money now .....

Irony here is for all it's been desperate dry all summer and continues to be so we are having a heck of a time trying to dry down greenfeed. Been down a week and it's still not ready. Currently 16C and 64% humidity.

I’ve said it before and I believe that the problem is that there are too many that just take the price that’s out there because they are on the treadmill and need to make a shit ton of payments. The big companies know this and they just pick off the low hanging fruit this time of year. I know guys moving wheat right now because they don’t have enuf bins for canola. Just floods the market and keeps the price stagnant. Companies just pickup cheaper easier grain at this time of year. Until the guys that just dump grain out of necessity figure out how bad they are getting hosed and in turn hosing those of us that try to market in a more orderly schedule the price will stay flat. No different than the premiums that companies put out. If no one would bite on those “deals” we would have true price discovery. Once the limited tons are filled the premium goes off and the train fills til the next “deal”.

[farmaholic]

Oh so true FarmJunkie. You got to wonder, GrainCo sales must be made without them actually owning the product...got to wonder what happens when they can't profitably source it...buy some from other GrainCos at the port they share? I bet there's more horse trading than we can imagine.

Rain and Fog till late morning Sunday shut down the HRS harvest in our area, were it done it rained way less than where I'm at now. Go figure.




Nice to have a break but still had lots to do.
