Grain Markets Errol?

[Old Cowzilla]

Doesn't help grain markets no snow to push and not 30 below , too easy to load now.

Is this the case across most of the prairies? It certainly is true anywhere I've travelled in Alberta.
At some point this goes from being a convenience to being a concern about moisture next season.

Sask same except maybe where SF3 is , even the swamp has none and land is drying out even more
apparently there is snow in the forecast for March so that should keep prices down

Anyone using a 400bbl tank for fuel? Looking for larger farm tank but the only thing that is priced reasonably are the surplus 400bbl tanks. If I can buy fuel for under a dollar I will be happy. Not sure we will get there though.

Ground is bare we are rolling up wire plus 1

Errol, what is your opinion on the idea that gold is a leading indicator of the markets inflationary expectations?

Nope, this is a speculative buying binge. Higher gold goes, the bigger the drop. Inflation well in the rearview mirror (IMO).

What about fertilizer bin with liquid valve on the bottom. There is guy that coop fills has had one since the eighties

That didn’t take long . . . gold reversal. Cattle board under-siege, technically oversold, but still points lower. Soymeal appears leading the charge lower on grain markets.

Do you have a seperate tank for winter diesel?

Not a bad question.

Would you buy a second large tank to save a 3% loss in mpg?

I'd burn winter all season long to save one road trip gel up.

YEs. We have a 1000 gallon and 4000 gallon that we can use for winter fuel.

We fill the 4000 gallon tank from the 750 BBL tank inorder to be able to track our use. Really hard to understand what is left in the tank otherwise.

We bought 60000 L last spring and had fuel left over. on 5800 acres. With a larger crop we would likely need a bit more fuel but interesting to know the L/acre of our farm. A little over $10/acre.

Our first year we filled at 50 cents/L. Been a guessing game ever since but seems like we save about $3000 per year on delivery costs on 60000 L.

We use these tank gauge boards, very simple install.

Great Stats Can report today. Funny my crop didn’t get any bigger in the bin.

My cucumber and turnip crop did exceed expectations.

Nice Christmas present coming … more lower prices.

Look out next yr!!!

[AlbertaFarmer5]

Stats can report.

https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/231204/dq231204a-eng.htm

oats down 50%
Wheat down 7%
Canola down only 2%. Is that a function of the area where wheat is grown vs canola?
Barley down 11%
Not the disaster it was advertised to be.

You are taking yr to yr, I’m talking the crop got bigger from Sep to now.

The bone heads new better than call me.

Crooks will lower prices and scare us into selling. Oh, but first they will offer a “premium” to fill a train.

Let’s all jump on the train!!
