Could the CWB have virtually No crop to sell in 2011 2012 crop year?

[Burbert]

I've had the total opposite from the cwb. Grain that didn't make the grade last year, is getting premium grade this year. Go figure. Guess there is a difference out there between Comedian farms and what is happenin!!!!!!

[fjlip]

SF3, oh they will buy on falling number if it lowers your grade, happened in 2005, sprouted 1 CWRS standing wheat to feed. Now it's visual to lower your grade. Heads they win tails you lose!

[ajl]

It could be that corn and soy finally rids us of the CWB. Corn results are variable around here but there is getting to be more of it around here under irrigation. A cash price around 6.25/bu right now will get it planted.

Fjlip, where did you get falling number tests done on your wheat? Cost? How many bu did each one represent? I've asked my wheat board rep about them, he told me that they were tests that you did on half a train, or a ship compartment, not a 3 ton load. Just too labour intensive??

Rosco,

Deliver wheat to Sweetgrass MT or Conrad/Shelby and find out how the rest of the world trades/sells wheat.

It is simple and has been done for half a century. ARE WE EVER SLOW and DENSE.

The first criteria is falling number... then Bu weight, ergot and Protein. Lastly damage and dockage discounts for frozen or shrunken kernels and then dockage discounts if it must be cleaned.

Year after year... frozen wheat can often still mill just fine in the US and has decent falling numbers.

[fjlip]

As I said Rosco, in 2005, wheat sprouted a tiny bit, invisible but when falling number test was done, it was graded 64 lb 13% prot crap feed. I have no clue where, NET sent samples, to CGC, I assume.
Net must have paid, I never saw a cost. A lot of samples were done. Last and only time this came up for me. Just saying it could bite us some time too.
Any one see a falling number on this year's wheat? Any samples taken to US?

cwb hrsw pool will beat farmlink marketing advice for
2010!! and probably 2009 as well!!

[btjadenlepp]

oh, them's fightin' words, tinm whoever
you are.

[btjadenlepp]

Tom, your comparison assumes the U.S.
elevator/delivery point can blend milling
wheat from Canada with U.S.-grown. They're
actually quite averse to that in practice,
due to regulations (country of origin
maybe?). Anyway that's been our experience
the past few years in trying to suss out
buy-back opportunities.

[timm]

so what % are u sold for 2010 hrsw?did u beat the
2009 pool ?the pool is beating all the hot shot
marketers in my area including myself!!
