Hard Red Spring Wheat

[AlbertaFarmer5]

If I remember correctly, you farm at the western edge of crop land by the mountains and always struggle to get harvest done due to wet falls and immature grain. Are you not worried storing canola that long with your difficult harvests, or do you just keep track on paper of what was sold from the 2019 crop and the canola might actually be from 2021?

Definitely a couple bins of 19 crop left. Most of the 20, and most of the 21. All with temp cables and aeration. Dried to beyond dry, since the 19 and 20 started out at closer to 20%.
To say I've got experience with storing grain at dangerous levels would be an understatement.

Storage pays . I have been told that many times on this site.

Just different priorities than most. Don't have any addiction to shiny paint but investments in bins have been the best ROI on the farm. And used bins are very cheap since the real Grain Farmers don't want anything under 20,000 bushels.
I guess that most of the used bins I've bought have had a one or two year payback.
The last 2 years even new bins have a one-year payback.
I get lots of comments on the number of bins we have, especially this far west. But I think everyone laughs at the rest of the equipment.

Question:

I am curious.

How did you arrive at 15.10?

There are no wrong answers.

Wheat market was already high last fall and hasn’t gone up much since than with these factors to consider.
Possible shortage of fertilizer in Europe and South America and North America
Russia Ukraine war, how much wheat will get planted and fertilized and infrastructure problems
Of all grains wheat has lagged behind
Winter wheat in US not in the best conditions
High fertilizer prices and possible shortage of chemicals.
Possible drought yet.

Maybe Larry could chime in on the validity of that article. Always sceptical when it comes from the Producer.

How many times do you turn the grain once you get it dry? I just figured you were storing that “dangerous” moisture grain till spring and then selling it. Never dreamed you could safely store it a further 2+ years.

Once the canola gets froze in say Feb, when do you run the fans again (Oct??).

Wish I had 1/2 the matketing skills you have.

Sounds like you have a good marketing strategy. I personally would be worried about spoilage and ship out at least the tops of the bins……especially the 2019 canola.
