Perhaps........

Some harvesting in nsw guys asking fo $380 off the combine feed barley.

[farmaholic]

Sometimes vernacular gets in the way...

BUT it wasn't hard to translate $380 feed barley!!!

We're looking at $165 feed wheat, only in Canada...pity !

Which is the proper way to convert it to CAD? AUD➡️CAD or AUD➡️USD➡️CAD
Seems to work out the same about $342 CAD, $7.44/bu.

Must be an OZ domestic shortage again.

AUD/CAD is .90019 at the moment.
You are correct sir, 342

[farmaholic]

Maybe I too am delusional that feed wheat was just recently worth alot more relative to #1 CWRS.

Care to put that on a chart 101?

Mallee, what we want and what we get are usually two different things.

It's interesting how the world market works for oil and fertilizers but grains it's just a localized shortage....

Did okay this year. It comes down to freight costs at times, or arguing over grade which I put a value on too.
The feed market can definitely lose you money
#1 CWRS 13.5-blue line, feed-red.

[farmaholic]

I expect those two lines to diverge.

Even a blind man will see it coming.

Hope it's not too bad.

Half of the 500 tonnes of wheat I was trying to price at about $5 before the wheels fell off the feed wheat prices is still in the field! They wanted fairly prompt delivery at about 15% moisture, ya well, we all know what harvest has been like. Maybe things don't always "work out" for a reason!

Corn into Lethbridge was 281 last week.
Barley and wheat will be elbowing corn out of the bunk this year

[ajl]

Might get 3.80/bu for feed barley here. Its sort of the same.

[malleefarmer]

While I’m at it cereal hay oats $350/380 frosted barley $300/340 prices depend on feed test.

Droughts are the shits. Sadly vey sadly some weather guys expect the current cycle to go one more year.

We were going fine but no rain of any note for last 3 weeks to finish crops at crucial flowering grain fill stage

[malleefarmer]

Just checked yesterday’s prices from one company wheat $285 on farm standard mid range wheat

Feed barley $268

Canola $587

Prices calculated back to on farm

I’m sure there other buyers 15 plus ahead this is first one that came up after search

Prices will be capped to degree if there’s talk of importing grain cause ours is to expensive.

And pig issues have put a dampener on feed barley we sell heaps to China for pig rations.

Lamb prices talk of $10 per kilo carcasse weight so you can put grain through a lamb feedlot even at Therese lofty prices.

Anyway off on a crop tour with my 89 year olds mother have to go into town to pick her up 18 kms away. No matter our old you can’t take the farm out of them even when retired and you respect love em till the day they leave us

You know off topic sorry but the headline was Off with ferries? I thought this was about flying in one of rhe liberal campaign jets. Sorry!

Lamb prices here have softened to about 3.50/kilo live so I guess about$7 hanging/kilo.
