Canaryseed

[the big wheel]

Sure, we just need a board to provide a quota system and we can keep market at 40. Until other countries grab the acreage.

Boolshit all controlled by a handful. If we set it at 40
That’s what it would be no acres changed at all.
We practically have a candy board right now
Where the lowest price is rhe law.

It will be 60 cents there is no canary anywhere
And was near none last year.

Big Wheel you are on the money. In all our travels 2500 km we saw one, yes one Canary field. More Canary grown around Regina but it isn’t very drought resistant. How short are the big shooters? We were in the thick of it in 1994, sold a bit over 55 cents. Big boys were caught with pants down. 🥲

I was in your field in 1994 after the frost. We never got above 40 that year to my knowledge. And I don't think we got to 40 even that year but I could be wrong.

I thought there was tiny amounts done at 50 or greater in early 1980s.

Doubtful shorts run very deep when market has been increasing for two years

So canary was sold for 50 cents in the 1980’s

What should the price be adjusted for inflation
for selling today???

50 cents sounds great but is a really poor price with what will be produced this year considering that.

From the 1980’s to today by what factor have wages increased to today? I worked in the oilfield then and got $10/hr. I believe that job is paying $30 now. So these wage earners needing to feed their tweety birds think they will feed tweety for the same price as in 1980??

Canaryseed needs to be at least 50 cents when Durum offers are $18. Dave, I remember too about 1986 or 1988, Canary was bid up to cover shorts, probably in that 50-52 cent range, Those were bin cleaning times.

Sounds like somebody locked in 30 cent
Canary and has none so doesn’t want it to
Go above 45 so talking the market down.

Lol. Nope. Everything isn't a conspiracy. In fact if you have canary in the bin you should buy me a beer

I will buy you 48 beer if you clean my canary and give back my $20 canola 😎

I would like to do that. But it will be full of lentil and canary screenings and then you would have to find someone to clean the canola out of that. Round and round. Lol

Sorry, I meant the 2004 frost.

I was in college in 1994 lol. I don't have any price chart that show anything above 40. Spoke to Brian at Stat and his into to 1988 shows this as a high water mark (45). Time will tell

I think it was around May 5 and we were in the thick of it. I’d have to look through a truck load of file boxes to get some definitive proof, don’t know if I have time for that right now, sorry.

Those records are only as accurate as far as who reported sales/purchases to them.
I remember in 1994 and again in the early 2000's canary and mustard (yellow especially) prices shot way up.
There were spot bids for a load or 2 hitting mid 50's for canary and I think 70+ for yellow mustard.
I know dad and I got 51 for canary for a load each, and a week later cud have got 55 if we had had any left.
And dad got 67 for a half load of yellow mustard.
Even today its easy to have buyers posting bids and if you have what they want you can get a good premium on a few loads and other guys will be getting the posted price the same day.
I will have to see what records made it through a couple moves and find the stubs.
Have the $12.50 picked up fall rye cheque copied and saved.
Should have a few for wheat, canola, lentils, canary and barley this year that cud be highs for a while!!!

Great Chart - Thanks. Where do you find this?

[wheatking16]

Calculating a measured move from this ascending triangle, I get a minimum target of $0.52.
