Wheat

[helmsdale]

Chicago wheat is back to August 2020 levels. A three and half year round trip.

Please Lord, giveth thy one more boom. Thou shalt not grant credence to the "this time is different" mob henceforth!

[foragefarmer]

But it sure was a fun trip. When can I sign up for the next one?

Did you finally unload that on farm carry-over you mentioned you had in late July 2023

It's not been a fun trip since then.

Hind sight 20/20
many farms held wheat
some said they would not sell till $10, but those same farms are magically sold on all wheat , it’s amazing.

Wheat made our farm more money the last three years it’s not even funny. Was a good run as wheat is fun to grow and cheaper to grow than canola. But like all good things it’s market is ****ed up.

now farmers in the USA are saying it’s Biden and Ukraine wheat flooding Europe etc. all farmers are pissed in Europe so maybe.

plus how well would western canada be at growing wheat if a war was going on.

something doesn’t add up.

There are a lot of amazing marketers out there always hitting tops for selling and always catching the bottom of the fertilizer valley.

Doesn't add up is right...

In response to EU farmer protests, the proposal also introduces an "emergency brake" for poultry, eggs and sugar, meaning tariffs would be allowed if imports exceed the average levels of 2022 and 2023. Import duties and quotas on Ukrainian farm were lifted in 2022 after Russia's invasion, which disrupted shipments via the Black Sea. Farmers have voiced anger over what they say is unfair competition from cheaper Ukrainian imports. The vote clears the last effective hurdle. Lawmakers had proposed several amendments, which were rejected, such as to add honey and cereals to the list of products subject to the brake and to include 2021 as a reference year. This was before Russia's invasion, when Ukrainian exports to the EU were curbed by tariffs and quotas.


Polish farmers protest again, now in Warsaw - Polish farmers are holding an announced mass protest in Warsaw on March 6, RBC-Ukraine reports. According to reports from Polish mass media, organizers of the protest anticipate up to 100,000 participants joining the demonstration. The protesters began their action by picketing the office of Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. Their demands remain consistent: a cessation of the "green course" advocated by the European Commission and a prohibition on the "uncontrolled" importation of agricultural goods. The participants of the action wanted to drive to the center of the Polish capital on tractors, but barriers were set up on the outskirts of the city. So only a few units of equipment were able to reach the center of Warsaw. Meanwhile, reports indicate several confrontations between protesters and law enforcement officers have already occurred.

Forage is one of those amazing marketers. Doesn't even grow grain, but with the benefit of hindsight, told us how he had saved all of his wheat from decades past and sold it all at the highs of 2022. A true legend in his own mind.

I'll just take that as a No to the simple question I asked.

I appreciate your concern for my marketing.
I will stick with my usual strategy, which is to sell on spring summer rallies. It pays off most years. Maybe this is the year I give it all back. Let's revisit it in the fall.

I know I'll never compare to your marketing brilliance. Or to put it another way, the first liar doesn't stand a chance.
