Grain Marketing ...

Sold spring thrash canola for 10.54 yesterday but seeing some of the canola fields out there in the Camrose and Wetaskiwin areas today, I may have sold too early. It will be a small crop of canola this year. Don't want to hold the spring thrash any longer though.

Seems like a good price for spring thrash canola.

Got a few thousand bu of good # 1 durum left on the farm here. Going to leave it in the bin and wait. Not going to be a bin busting type of year down here anyways , so space will not be a problem. Besides , the money us farmers make , the more the government seems to "need" !

I wonder what kind of creative math those bastards in Ottawa are going to come up with in the near future to carve away at the expense of all of us. After all , who else is going to pay for the debt?

Oil industry will be shut down....Potash could be fulfilled by the Ukraine mines ....the only business to tax is agriculture and only farmers are the target....the rest makes their margins off us....and get funding from the government ...

Protein industries canada is funding the pulse processing....

So you are taxing farmers to give money to industry that " says" it will be a 40 billion dollar industry....but can't finance themselves....

Primary farming is a multibillion dollar industry every year and we don't receive shit.

Crops are certainly variable depending on area and amount of rain. In my area canola and wheat look very good but the barley and peas are suffering a bit from wet feet. Sprayed fungicide this am on first field of wheat looks really good from the drivers seat.

What!!? A marketing thread!!!??
Well, we'll lose Chuckass that's a big 10-4!
Just my situation, for logistical purposes and opportunities.
44 bu wheat sold off combine so far.
No peas. They usually go all in one shot early winter. No canola, yet...
Hoping to do more wheat. If goes high enough will try sell some for next year.
Watching canola close though. Like to crack all bins before Xmas.

So what do you do if you only combine 25 bu of wheat?

You get out the checkbook
Thats what were gonna be doing right away with hailed out peas and barley
You know , you win some and lose some,
Cant win them all , but we have won far more than we have lost , you know its farming

So if no one pre-sold, would prices go up?

Sure it would but it would also drop like a rock once the first guy sold at harvest time. Higher highs and lower lows.

The problem here is if you dont presell you dont haul from combine
