High Protein Wheat is in High Demand?

[agstar77]

were you happy with starbuck?
only had a small field on alfalfa ground, dried right out , not very good test

Starbuck was good. Hard to judge in a shitty year. But 30 with 2 in of rain not bad.

Maybe this is why high protein wheat is suddenly in demand. Great reset proceeding.

AS farmers , one would think we should agree on some things. Apparently not.

Governments love this type of diatribe to justify them doing SFA to help the industry or farmers.

Exactly my point, but it had to come from the right poster I see.

Hope you get rain Bucket, mixed farmer are the hardest working!

The whole system starts on the backs of farmers and ranchers....Everyone else just keeps picking the meat off our bones.

We now have a system that depends on how many inputs you buy from the graincos to get delivery.

I remember doing the Malt barley program for one grain company once and I was told there is 2 ways of getting your barley accepted for Malt.

1 - grow good quality barley year over year then even if you have a bad year we will accept it to keep you in the game.

2 - owe the grain company enough money they will accept your barley.

Friends were at Costco.
She said the roast beef she always buys for $20 was $45. She bought something else.
No trickle down in beef anymore. Just packer greed.
There is a reset happening alright.
Windfall profits at the top of the chain.

Wife uses the Flipp app, search beef, usually Independent best price on good cuts.

Does it stop at packer? See some awful big feedlots being built they must be doing okay. Maybe it is just cow/calf guys that are behind.

I could add one more to that.

Conceal your actual location through the use of a broker.

Local malt growers have told me that our barley from this far west will be rejected most years just from the buyer looking at a map. But if they sell the same barley through a broker with no location being revealed, it the same barley will be accepted.

And in fairness, we often have poor germination from our short cool growing season.

Pretty tough to have a feedlot and packing g industry without cow calf guys.

They are getting decimated.

I'm with you. In the event of a massive wave of bankruptcies, Someone will pick up the pieces and continue to grain farm, and run feedlots. I don't see the same thing happening in cow calf, if the geriatric producers are forced out.

Do our current 2 large packers care if the Canadian cow calf crop drops.
The feeders can import subsidized calves from south and they can always import enough beef from anouther production plant to supply the market.
They might pay higher prices for a short time till they adjust thier supply chain.
