Wheat

[makar]

I'm quite confident that the average grain farmer is not going to give up their winter vacations to babysit cows 365 days of the year.
But now that the cattlemen are finally making some money for one of the first times in decades, perhaps they can pick up the pieces of some of the grain farms.

Never winter vacation in my life, to busy cutting firewood.

Don't get to gunho about the cattle biz that party is always a lot shorter than planned. The market will be down before guys can make the first payments on those $3000 cows. Bintheredonethat. The guys giving the market reports claim the plants are 30 plus days behind in processing can you imagine what would happen to prices even if we expand a little bit. -23 coldest morn we have had in 4 weeks.

Cattle cycle is alive and well. I took advantage and culled a pile but my heifer retention is considerably higher this year. Probably by the time they bring calves to market they’ll be cheap but at least once theyre at their most productive is when the market peaks again.

Cattle business has been in the doldrums far too long that now with the sudden uptick in profitability, shortage of cattle, and downturn of grain prices; breeding cattle are too expensive relative to their future profitability. I’m not that old and gosh it seems I’ve seen this scenario play out before. Some jumping back in and some with tax problems but who knows. When these $3500 breds become $2500 next winter the usual types take a haircut every cycle. Maybe I’m wrong and it hasn’t topped yet but eventually some sucker gets caught.

Does anybody use that Oats commodity board?

It looks like I could make that chart move by myself.

Looks like an easy place to manipulate volatility?

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

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.

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.

[SASKFARMER]

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.
