Malt Prices

[hedgehog]

hopperbin, feed barley as available off the combine uk is £175/t which equates to $7/bu.?? i think
malt will be £200 plus
with all our wet weather and flat crops, quality is going to be difficuilt

Canadian maltsters, aided and abetted by
the CWB, have for years taken advantage
of the farmer. After a while they do
think we are stupid and it does take a
while to adjusted to the new reality.

Not sure if maltsters are stupid.
I don't see a clean arbitrage for malt barley.
Perhaps increasing faq malt demand, less high quality? More competition for bly supply? Less malt plants?
Feed @ bin $5.05 Malt $5.30 AOG
$5.50 no Act of God.
Apparently Vancouver malt mid $7 ?
Gut tells me they are playing chicken.
It'll hurt them in the end. Malt acres shrink = inelastic supply.

Had to price10 bus act of god last week. 3200 bus
times 5.35. Oh well it's a starting point rest
unprimed, should be 6 to 7 sask.

yeah lets teachem a lesson, don't grow
malt, lettem suffer, er maybe they access
the u.s. market and f^&k us some more
instead. Marketeers will prevail, teachin
buyers lessons, makin them pay the
freight, etc.

[Burbert]

A lets see, maybe we will go the u.s.
route too. Oh wait, we are about 7 Hrs
from the border, ahole truckers'll love
this comedian framer tryin ta make money.
Butt it appears that location, location,
location is really important, lucky yous
boys/girls livin close ta the border. The
rest of us upcountry kin go, suck on it
from the looks a tings.......

[blackpowder]

Yet again, fear and ignorance.

[mcfarms]

Watch the french/Britsh harvest and be patient on your unpriced malt.
They are geting all the rain the US isn't.

Reality bites don't it folks?
