Insanity, seems the durum market has some breathes of life lately.

$6.25 durum, $650 urea, pretty easy math.

When you look at T-Bay or West Coast asking prices for #1 wheat, or think about the prices the. Wizard of Oz"(Mallee) quotes...looks like there might be some upside. Russia/Ukraine tensions disrupting shipping etc out of there.

Durum....wait till fuzz rears its ugly head again! Hello $4 durum....I haven't followed port prices for durum....what is the percieved spread between port asking and farmgate prices? Then there's the mysterious US destination durum...what is it worth? I probably won't grow durum again until I forget how miserable grading and marketing fuzz infected durum can be! ...too susceptible.

Store 5cwad durum with FUZZ....doubled in price from september 2016 to July 2018....


And Errol since you are defending Kostal what were your recommendations for FUZZ durum in 2016....

I just didn't want you thinking I'm as dumb as you think I am!
I hope there's upside yet! Might be time to offer my wheat at a healthy "premium" over current values....limited tonnes....limited time offer.

From a low of $1.75 to $6.50 in 18 months. Easiest money ever. But remember it’s crap and just get rid of it?

"Kinda" feel sorry the guy who has no market power, or has given it all away.

Busy “marketing “ our 55lb tough feed wheat through our bovines as cow chow. 10,000 lbs a day of cheap grain turning into $1.80 yearlings is easy math for us especially with crazy hay prices. Last week finished selling all the hay we made this year and hopefully will have it all loaded out before Christmas.

Next week we’ll ultrasound the heifers to see who studied “sex ed “ with the bulls back in the summer. The ones that fail the preg test will be listed for sale along with the steers shortly after. Hopefully most of the 200 pass as we want to increase the herd. We may regret this in the spring if Mother Nature gets grumpy........ but hey that’s next years problem to worry about. 😉

Lastly to find a home for our 20-25% green seed canola........... probably going to wait till next spring when everyone else is done pushing theirs out the door.

Cool to see a marketing thread here for a change........even if some of it is dripping in sarcasm. 😎



Another 1,000 happy meals for an impatient crowd almost ready to be served.
