Pea Games!

[SASKFARMER3]

Ah the old don't hope for something! After over 10 plus years of excess moisture I am hoping for 10 of dryer than normal! So our flats that are flooded with 6 in of water on 90 acres come back (example people) some don't get how wet we were! If we get back to normal that's fine with me!

Sask3 Where did 65 bus of peas come from?

Wait for $7.85 / bushel then "pull the trigger". Just to get rid of them for cash flow or a delivery spot two months away.

What ever you got in the previous 10 years was enough to keep you in the game!!!! Don't lose sight of the "gift". I would have said blessing but didnt want to sound religious.

65, I wish! Probably not even possible here.

Lucky.

Hobbitfrmr, be nice with your comments between the quotation marks. Or I should quit reading the perceived subliminal messages between the lines!!

Vwalk Burnt stubble and up early with lots of moisture. Yes thanks to 10 years of mud. Then a rain after seeding and they took off black ground warmed up fast and away they went. Fertilizer with seed and I hate to say it Viper for chemical for weeds. But I did apply 3 days before we went cooler. Then Used Fungicide at flowering from BASF the new one. Finally a rain just in flowering and another quite a few in July. Goose Damage was one corner and they paid well. So the secret is were back to normal with Rains in Our area not three inch every second day for the whole summer.
Ok shit ass luck this year its kind of scary.
Farming I always said is about 1/3 what you were taught at the UofS 1/3 from your father and 1/3 shit ass luck from mother nature.

Farmaholic,
if $9.00/ bushel has profit in it why not sell? Harvest time has always pressured prices down as previously described. I suspect peas will drop through $7.85 due to market pressure and general rhetoric. Then they will hang around the lower prices longer than expected because farmers will sell them to make cash flow while they "hold out" for a better canola and wheat price. The price will climb later in the winter/spring, it will pass through $7.85 going up. A broken clock is right twice a day! Farmers are funny that way, why sell some inventory for a profit price when you can sell the entire inventory for less!.
No subliminal messages between quotations, I am not that clever or spiteful.

If your whining about $9 yellow peas of combine you need a brain transplant . Price drops always happen at harvest - be glad it's only $.50/ bus . Wrong year to piss and moan about not getting am extra $.50 for 65 bus peas . 80% of the rest of the praise won't get 30

When they clean us all out nearly it will be 12 bucks and then we all figure out the millions we subsidized other countries and traders. Brainwashed into thinking prices have to be low at harvest. Yet we re told were not a significant player

[SASKFARMER3]

Yea they all dropped their bid but when their is **** all supply you phone around and get what you want! It's a year to tell the buyers to duck right off!

[newguy]

Peas done.Pretty nasty after hail and dry conditions early.Was able to fill my contract and get a bit more..So I guess I will not find out what they meant by will work with me on being short.Even got enough so no crop insurance.Would have been a very good crop if it never had to grow twice with no moisture.Land is left cleaned up and with a spray job this fall will be ready to grow a bumper next year.

The way the world economy is right now and going foreward , if there is willing buyers at $9 for yellows and you have them off , the bins would be empty ready for something else - I would not even think twice. That is a very good price for yellows off harvest.
Look at green peas - the bottom dropped off and the buyers are in the pub waiting er out.
We have all greens - not Gona piss and moan - just put em in the bin and go to the pub and see who blinks first .
