Wheat

[zeefarmer]

Yesterday's prices here.

Elevator A $6.50 1RS 13.5
Elevator B $6.63 1RS 13.5
Feed mill $6.85

Guess the pigs will eat beautiful red wheat.

Saw a report that said feed wheat sold for $6.90 picked up in southwest Manitoba. Not just one load either.

What an insult to milling wheat prices.

Quit your complaining. ...next thing you will ask for vaseline. ..

Sarcasm...

These quotes and others posted here;

Are these small examples of grainco price fixing?? Showing that "feed outlets" are not part of the "fix", the "group", the "cabal" of families??? Their feed offers are open market.

At any point, can wheat being fed to animals be worth more, than the same wheat being fed to humans???

Is that what it's going to take to raise the price of human fed wheat???

Really need to cheering on the corn rally, the higher the corn = more wheat fed, even if it's #1 14.5pro

I don't care how it's used or, who or what it's fed too, including ethanol.

So should we grow Pasteur wheat that yielded 90 b/a last yr?
A feed variety..

I would dump it at a financially solid feedmill at the drop of a hat.
Look at the port asking prices and then your farmgate price. Is that a reasonable basis?
Remember, rail and inland elevator consolidation should have lowered costs.

Are farm gate prices are being set by what GrainCos sold the grain for or what they buy it for.

I think I know the answer.

It did. But who's to say that they would share the saving?

Geez man really seems like some days competition is non existent for you guys.

Locally here one day. this week a feed mill i kid you not put a bid for peas $45 up on day before immediate 2 day delivery slot. $410 delivered a few other buyers same day had tonraise stakes to get peas was short livjed back to $365. Ps i dont grow peas.

Wheat another day shipping short for a exporter prices up $6 ton$10.
Farmers dont begrudge marketers grain co, feed mills etc making a profit.

We need fliud active exports continually year round and 24/7 pricing opportunities

Don't read too much into the industry here from what you read on Agriville.

Mallee:

Here is what distance to port is doing to prices of CWRS #1-13.5 the further inland you go, and I am in just about the worst place possible.
Which I would like to state is no one's fault before skmeone bites off my head and shits down my throat.

Closest to me and going west to the mountain's.
Not exactly sure which oligopoly rail line serves which delivery points for sure.

All Jan prices All the same GrainCo

Balgonie, 6.46
Moose jaw, 6.52
Swift Current, 6.68
Gull Lake, 6.75
Brooks, 6.89
Crossfield 7.03

"Specials" of 7.25 at Brooks and Crossfield

So we wait in the interior for the stuff closest to port to be scooped up first.
And hope those "specials" reach us.
They will pull grain from their highest margin areas first....and why shouldn't they?
