Nov canola ended 2 bucks over jan. Was always below before. Some buyers basis off nov some using jan. If one had a basis contract I am sure the nov futures users would have made you roll a month ago.

The numbers change up and down..But is anyone selling canola at these prices? Not here..Bunge has free storage till march..Give us your canola..so we can hose you later..

Partners, an offer like that drives me nuts. They have no incentive to use the market if everyone did that. My God, ante up for **** sakes....the canola IS for sale.

One day my viterra agent lets not get hung up on who but had a special. Same miles in other direction the special was 40 cents higher. So I was wonderi g about target at the lower one. Try 12 cents higher was the response. Lol. Volatility can be a friend. Just pay attention. Dont offer to long. I like daily targets.

What other crops can a farmer cash flow with? 44% of seeded acres is canola around here. Wheat is not moving and there are bills to pay and vacations need a down payment.
