#2 Large Green Lentils

[dave4441]

Which are you...a buyer or a grower today and as a buyer why wouldn't you be lending advice to the AV community about grades and prices and the future?????


You come across as someone who hasn't been paying attention....

Markets are moving up. Don't pay attention to special crops pricing or production? You are highly mistaken. Ask my girlfriend, it's apparently all i pay attention to. Lol. Where it stops is anyone's guess. I don't know the answer to that. Often these harvest rally's are the top of the year. I do know that India will likely try and buy cheap lower quality for splitting which leaves less higher quality for our traditional markets. But with similar acreage to last year this weather event has changed market from really bearish to something else. Just not sure what that something else is.

You know i sold the last of my durum at $7.25 and seeing $8 now. I didn't know the 4" rain was going to damage things in that market the way it has. I don't know what this is going to do either but having some discussion can't hurt either.

I grew greens one time and they graded a 3 in the fall and were worth 8 cents....less than feed wheat I think....sold them later as a 2 after being oxidized ( cough then puke that excuse ) for year or two for 32 cents....


I think greens have to see 40 cents...but you will see them get let go to there...

I am trying to get a handle on the quantity of #2 or better large green lentils. What is your guys take on this? I am guessing its 50% good quality and 50% lower then #2 but i still don't really have a clue and haven't seen enough product to guess at it. Sask Ag and Foods stated 88% of the lentils are off the field as of Monday so we are getting close but what is guess at the quality of the harvested product.

Not in that market at all but I see nothing wrong with asking, more market info the better for everyone, farmer included, some are just not able to figure that out. The guys that ask for more market transparency then wont reveal their numbers or outright mislead Stats Canada, then complain that the stats are not correct are hypocrites and well just plain dumb.

So tired of guys with the us against them attitude, if you start that fight who do you think is gonna win. No different than other parts of life, the attitude you put out to the world comes right back at ya. The buyers I work with have been absolutely fair with me and have numerous times paper blended, made concessions, given advice, paid on time, taken poor quality crop to help me out, offered premiums whatever they needed to do.

What info has Dave given? If the market doesn’t know what there is maybe they offer a premium to find out.

Just don't treat me like a fool!
We have become ever more educated and sophisticated, we live in the information age. I don't have to wait for the next Western Producer to see where they report markets are heading.....two weeks ago!

There is good reason for cynicism at times.
