Friday Crop Report on a Thursday! Week 31

[SASKFARMER]

Good morning I said last week was it but we are still doing fall work so why not?

Should finish all harrowing today or tomorrow. Every field is done.

Should mandako all water runs and sloughs and sprayer ruts today? Every quarter.

Ripping land experiment. Yes, we have a hard pan after 40 years of direct seeding.

Malt barley is hauled in.

Lots of trucks sitting as prices suck.

Hearing rumours wheat prices once you factor in exchange are $9.27 Canadian in Montana and ND. Not the BS we are getting.

Grain Contracts now expire on the 15th at most elevators. Funny lowest price is now the 15 then boom prices up every day since. Marketing grain is a scam. Better take out a target. **** me it's a joke.

Buy overpriced fertilizer. Hurricane damage prices are going up.

They were down for two days it is BS.

Land sales two close to our area, one 11 mill and one 28 mill and some laughed when I said I wanted $50 mill. If you can grow it it's worth a lot. Dryer areas never were worth the big dollars.


Heading south in a couple of weeks to enjoy the corn harvest and cotton harvest.

Enjoy the lovely fall weather.

Moisture this week 1/2 tenth.

Hunting season could be interesting.

Why dont you just open your own brokerage account and buy the spot month futures after the 15th if you know the prices are going to go up every day? If its such easy money seems like its a no brainer?

It is the open market, theres nothing stoping you from making that transaction on paper yourself

tell that to the thousands of speculators in offices who trade it every day

[the big wheel]

I heard the same about wheat prices but an even higher difference plus no BS for lower protein deductions like whats going on here, so who is pocketing the 2 bucks a bushel in wheat? thank you wheat growers Apas etc for being on this!!!!

[Sodbuster]

Does anybody happen to know what the cost is to ship wheat to Vancouver?

This is our compaction fix.

Unfortunately.

[Sodbuster]

I’m not sure if drought is a good option.

Columbia grain has bids posted on their website and no password nonsense to get through. DNS 14% is quoted at 8.30 cdn this morning at Sweetgrass MT just over the border from Coutts. That is the best bid from the locations that I checked.

Be that as it may the point remains. You can sign up a brokerage account and freely trade the futures just like anyone, which is the point im trying to make here today.

Millions of speculators can't be wrong

SF are you satisfied with the STORM? Have you had/demoed any other HS disk?

[SASKFARMER]

I yea I have tried a lot of the others and I’m a Degelman fan. But the blade angle from the cab from zero to 14 deg and if you want like a real heavy disc lift the Wings and go 14 deg
