You are all young guns!

The joy, getting a 3 bushel quota allotment.

You guys don’t remember sub five dollar canola and flax in 99/00? 2.50 wheat. 1.30 barley. 1.25 oats.

i remember $.99/bu barley and we were combining it with a 2001 2388 , so not that long ago

I remember getting nothing for wheat from the wheat board !

and had to wait 9 months on it

some by swan manitoba is 200 and at least you will grow a crop

Brother-in-law help combine 90 bu wht there so 90times 12 is helping the push but he was a grain buyer before retired so not every year is a banner up there either.

What I struggle to understand is not that canola might drop to $8, as a risk taking business I am ok with that risk as it seems low and if you worry about everything you’ll never do anything. But what if canola drops to $14? You are underwater. $200 rent with current inputs would put you at $600-650 an acre to grow a 40 bushel canola crop. Can you imagine renting land where a 40 bushel canola crop at $14 has you losing $100 an acre. I’m aggressive, I’d love to grow but it definitely won’t be renting land at anywhere close to those rates.

Canola was like $9 bucks just a decade ago wasnt it.

Anyway, the answer to the question what would you do is going to be answered in the next while. If Trudeau gets in again and our premiers wont fight, there will be a lot of land up for rent I imagine.

Try 2019, not a decade ago ?
