Canola

[Hopperbin]

Not easy to discover cutworm damage before too late. I don't see any here this year yet but its time now to be checking. Also must spray at night when they are out is that correct?

[bgmb]

Here too, cutworms are bad there will be
surprises for the guys that scout from road this
year. We sprayed most of our canola for beetles
and worms got them in time luckily

[bgmb]

Cutworms, Very difficult pest to know if you have
enough to warrant spraying,

solution,

spray everything.

Agstar you said the price of canola was priceless like it is worthless. You do not have a cut worm problem.

Priceless as in the cost of production. I do not grow canola.

You better adjust your topic based on the activity on New Ag talk Charlie, looks like no trades or liquidity for your topic either (Kinda like the ICE wheat and barley contracts)

cotton . . . believe we both see the
same end result, just looking through
different port holes on money supply.
one of us will be right. enjoy your
market insight.

crusher . . . this you won't like . . .
Think there may be a 'bear flag'
developing on canola charts right now.
Realize that this is smoke 'n mirrors
technicals, but if canola breaks, this
flag suggests a $1/bu decline. don't
know when, but if the right triggers
come together, it might be a rapid
market reaction (but can certainty be
wrong, as you have seen).

Bernanke's comments are reverberating
across Asia tonite. tomorrow another
interesting day.

The development of the cash market in the new wheat
market is something I am following very carefully
including which futures grain companies are using as
the reference/hedge tool and basis. From there, we
all are going to have to understand the protein and
grade market. People tell me this will happen quickly
with the first deliveries after harvest this fall.

Most farmers don't care. Ignorance is bliss.

He will print. The choice is between an
inflationary depression or a defationary
depression. Since the 1930 depression
was deflationary and wasn't very nice we
going to try an inflationary one this
time. This is the $1,000,000 cup of
coffee scenario as the end game.

Errol,

When you get bullish, I'm going to 100% sold. lol

Crops look good here, specialty oil over $14/bu, think I'll go to 30% sold from 10%.
