Wheat Disaster

[furrowtickler]

So far happy with my gut - no less than $6.40 , high of 6.55 - actually delivering April $6.50 now .
But we have a choice of 4 grain co's - so no gun to head .

wilagro, go back to the 60's and your 3 bu. wht. quota. The cwb had 70 some years to get it right and couldn't do it, we've had 3 and again wheat was my best paying crop this year, the future looks bright. Free at last free at last!! Stick your head back in the sand.

Wheat best paying crop last couple of years!!! I'm sure glad my future isn't yours.

Waikato doesn't even farm. Seems to be a trend with these single desk types

Wilagro is what I meant before spell check. I remember awhile back wilagro admitting he doesn't farm anymore

Why yes forage farmer it was. Our future is prob. different, i'm a perennial optimist and you appear to be a perennial pessimist ( correct me if i'm wrong ) Looks like opposite directions to me. Other than the mid seventies, i don't think things have been more prosperous. Look at the price of land, usually a good indicator of prosperous times. Things have been far worse.

Stone picker - you are or were right - things have changed - we will see what happens within a year.
We have been lucky here as well the past 5 years but we are in a down turn believe it or not

Of coarse I'm an "perennial optimist" that's why wheat isn't my best paying crop as you stated it is in your post. That's the point I was making about my future, way more money to be made in other commodities other than wheat.

So you go ahead and bring up three bushel quotas in the 70's, that's 40 years ago, I'm in 2015.
