Lots of Naybors haven’t even turned a wheel yet. Be a solid week before they do now. And we get into September. September is usually a battle. Be interesting for sure.

I think Syngentas gonna have to cough up a few bucks for the Moddus experiment

Has anyone heard what Syngenta is planning to do with hurt their product did this summer. I heard they moved a massive amount of product on fd barley and oat acres. I haven’t completed my oat checks but on the four barley checks, moddus lost each time ranging from -2 to -17 bu/ac

Just a heads up . . . barley demand appears slowing with movement now being deferred mid-late fall by some buyers.

Estimated 70 to 100 unit trains of corn now booked through to July 2022.

Is barley demand slowing or is it just a fact there isn’t any? Therefore
The booked units of corn? Any feedlot or rancher
I ve talked to would take any kind of barley no matter
Shape size or colour it’s about feeding the animals
What ever you Can get your hands on.
People here have gotten calls from brokers
And ranchers the never dealt with before and rhe
First question is do you have barley?

There isn't enough barley and feedlots can't afford to run a cattle feeding business stressing over whether a grower will sell or not.

Railed corn coming in on CP is cheaper and of course a dependable supply for lots through this crop year. Barley deliveries deferred as overall buyer demand weakening. Corn has replaced. The Cdn barley export market will also be dead.

Personally believe, we are at the highs for feed barley this crop year, right now . . . .

Think maybe we’re both right, feedlots
Want steady supply, but will take what
Ever barley they can get hands on.
Some farmers are sitting on barley waiting
For 10 bucks. But this year if they
Don’t get it they will get the
8.50 offered now later. If it were past
Years they may end up with 4 waiting
For 10.

There are a pile of smaller background units, ranchers, pig barns, etc that can't easily switch to corn like the big feedlots. There will still be lots of demand for the small barley crop that we have.

Why $10? . . . . $8/bu barley isn't good enough? But hey, go for it.

Remember, current domestic barley prices don't make a lick-of-sense feeding cattle. And the export market is stalled. Bargaining demand is shifting . . . .

Why $1100 phos?

And so on…..
