Chickpea Seed

[SWFarmer]

It seems with the high chickpea prices of late there is a high demand for seed. I have contacted a few different seed farms and it seems like they are out of stock. Does anybody have an idea who would still have available supplies?
Thanks

Be prepared to mortgage the farm to buy seed. I know where there is seed for a reasonable $145/ac. 😂
I guess it's called supply-demand.

wow ! what's it normally cost ?

Do you have some for sale caseih?

Damn...now canola seed prices will go up, they'll be thinking they left too much money on the table, er...I mean in farmer's pockets!

Soybean pack is worth what? But you don't have to spray fungicides half a dozen times like chickpeas.

Not even chickpeas will grow in our desert land

We need some rain or it's corner to corner dust bowl

Wife and I are saving our urine all winter...will make the best liquid fertilizer when times are tough

It's unnerving to realize typically dry weather crops don't even look promising next season without a soil moisture recharge in the dry zones this fall or next spring. Then if that doesn't happen...the amount of risk taken by "going all in" putting a crop in the ground with all the groceries and hoping for timely rains.

Certified insane way to try and make a living! All with meager crop insurance and useless gutted support programs.

Is it time for some sort of discussion on ag policy and programs and out of
Control costs and risks? Outdated programs?

I say no. Cut the programs completely. Useless gov Job making. Maybe just a bit crop insurance to cover basic inputs. Let the market work. Maybe than land, equipment costs would have a true value. More subsidies/programs just get capitalized into land/equipment costs. My opinion.

Come out here (Edmonton) and I will show you hundreds of thousands lost due to flooding. There is land in this area that produced no crop in 16 and 17 due to flooding. Dry will look much better then. I am hoping for a dry winter so we don't have to do the seed in mud and crop's a dud thing again.

I think we can all agree that either extreme is no good......
Hope we all get a little of what we want.

I think I scared SWFARMER away with that price. He's become very quiet. 😂😂
There are cheaper chickpeas to seed like B-90s.
But everyone wants those .70-75 ones.

$1.20 a lb? Are you using new math?
