Organic HRSW wanted

[hobbyfrmr]

This is a cut and paste from an email today.

We have a Japanese customer looking for several thousand bushels of organic HRSW for January to February shipment. Protein would need to be 13%.

Would you by chance have any available? If so, can you shoot me a price that will work for you and then we will see what the customer thinks? We forward contracted several thousand bushels for fall delivery at $18 to $20 picked up on the farm – if that helps.

Kindest regards and best wishes for a safe and timely harvest.

Wish I had some.

Agreed. I chose not to grow HRSW wheat.
Marketing FAIL!

thanks hobby farmer, i contacted them and have arranged to send a sample off the combine. Sounds like a excellent opportunity.

Just curious, have you done business with SK foods before?

My opinion is they will take conventional and sell as organic. If the seller gets in a bind yes we know. Dumb **** sold ahead with no backing. How do you sell 13, 5 hrs organic. Ahead of time. Retard.

I have known them since 2007 and talk with them quarterly, but, come to think of it, i have never sold them any grain. This is a perfect situation for accounts recievable insurance.
You can do your own dilligence, just like real world business.

The several thousand is kinda vauge. Vage vauuuge. Why even say what you sold for? Excuse me but does anyone think they will get paid on an ad like this?

On organic a buyer should bid and Inspect. **** the crop is in field yet.
