$600 canola............. been a loooooong time since that happened here. You can do about $525 picked up here now which is really decent in my eyes.

P.S. How did your “2.99” tonne crop end up when you finished it? Although with rounding we all know where that puts it.............😉

[malleefarmer]

Nope left it for moment.

Rounding you referring to arithmetic or the nudey run.........

I was referring to the arithmetic............. the nudey run is a byproduct of that result 😉

I just noticed you said seven buyers on a Sunday?? Heck we hardly have seven buyers on Monday to Friday and nothing on the weekend. You guys are way ahead of us with choice and options.

Been meaning to mention feed barley worth more than malt as of friday.

$1.20 per tonne ahead

Your canola pricing is interesting.

So much for harvest lows, 😳

Interesting how your pricing is higher than ours here.
- We have a large North American market , can’t be a freight issue
- we have a large crush industry, so local crush vs export market, so you would think that it’s competitive


Anyone know why?

Another reason export sales are needed - prime example?

Rareearth, most of the domestic crush plants are also owned by exporting GrainCos. So in my egotistical opinion there isn't as much competition as meets the eye.

Probably a large part is supply.

Australia grows what, 4 mmt of canola a year?

Also North America has a competing soy bean market. I’ve never heard of soybeans as a large crop in Aus.
