Did read today Russia and Ukraine aren't even close to getting the yields their projecting because farmers have no credit! Just saying market knows shit!

Yup offered wheat in containers to China, was a full 2$ a bushel over the offers, figured to match it we would have needed 4.00 wheat prices.

And so you wonder why we need efficient logistics, well this is definitely one reason: it costs a huge pile to get grain to market from Canada.

Too many middle men/people and miles between here and there. And everyone up the food chain has to live like kings and queens leaving tht bottom feeders - farmers as always, the pessants of the system.....

Of the acres we farm that have been cropped in past, we expect up to five percent to be too wet even in dryer years.
Past few years have seen that go up to about ten percent with some fields and parts abandoned.
Given normal moisture from here on this year, expect the figure to be just over ten percent, something we have to live with until we can get back to dryer years.

Canada goose population is exploding
Wonder what limits population other than dryer years?
Now have bald eagles here in summertime, saw a pair take a goose yesterday.

Same experience here Vicki. We've been trying for years, can't compete nohow.
