There were reports during the weekend from Canadian traders that China had sent huge CIQ teams to investigate Canadian barley. The market fears China will shortly crack down on Canadian barley.

Which should be motivation enough to encourage everyone to NOT desiccate any crops this year. The bans may be purely political moves, but they will need a justification, and that is the easiest possible excuse to lock us out.

I don’t know of anyone or even seen anyone “desiccate” barley .. so not sure how it can be any issue ???

But ya agree , it’s reglone only on peas , Blackbeans here.

It will change some bigger farms .. a lot of wheat was sprayed early just so the combines could roll earlier to cover more acres. Right or wrong it has helped some farms expand dramatically. You add a week to harvest with 8-10 combines ... that’s a pile of acres off earlier to feed the driers . Not sure how the CPS wheats will be effected.

Was watching RB auctions , late model swathers were selling very strong in comparison to other late model machinery.

Our neighbours in AB sprayed around 3000 acres one fall because it was cool and the crop was coming in slowly. It happens.

Agreed , but the perception is it’s general... and it’s not even close on barley , not even remotely.

Because this is a public forum for anyone to read, I will just agree with you. But it only takes one, in order for it to be detectable in a load, for that to be used as an excuse. And I wasn't just referring to barley.

Heed the warnings. I posted this months ago.

The Saudi "justice system" has been at work again.
Saudi oil still supplying eastern Canada refineries.
