Sorry for the small pictures, I doubt you'll be able to see them from a smart phone screen.

But if a picture could tell a story, this would be a short story.... SELL!!!

Hell, I can't see them on the desk top. Sorry, Maybe I'll try to make them bigger!!

Stat publishing is listing #1 yellow at 50 - 56 cents.
Good money.

Current Yellow Mustard bids are in the 50 plus to 60 cent range, depends on who you talk to.


2016 Crop...

Sometimes when we follow the rainbow, as we get closer to the end the more it fades, then when we get there the pot of gold is empty, too many got there before you or too many were thinking the same thing as you.

Sometimes bright stars become falling stars.

Zig when everyone else Zags.

Grab some good contract prices with AOG clauses, some overage could be cheap in comparison to current prices(lentils and mustard). But... historically they still may be "OK".

Quit growing it. Had to make a choice. Canola or mustard.

[farmaholic]

We don't have alot of dirt we can grow it on. Only have about 240 acres suitable. Canola far enough back in the rotation.... bigger problem on those acres is getting to be cleavers. Authority claims suppression at the lower rate.

It's a good crop to speculate with... Mine is two years old(grown in '14)

[farming101]

Sounds like you might not be speculating much longer!

Mustard in the canola was a big or bigger problem. At that time we still
were using generic or maybe liberty varieties.
Remember maybe in '02 when it froze early the price went into the 70's but
not for long.

Don't tempt me to move my target, farming101!!!

Pictures showed up in the new format site????? I should try posting them here(this post was made from the old site format) to see If they show up there... vicey versy kinda thing.

[farming101]

Never did sell any for 70. The 02 crop was a #3 and tough. Sold some for 40
then kept the rest and wound up selling it years later for 18 or something like that.
Somewhere around the time when canola hit 5 bucks.
It was low quality. I think some guys dumped their 02 frosted stuff in the bush.
No one wanted it after 03 crop came off.

Sold some of the 03 crop for 40 and the rest after storing it for 4 years for 60.
That was the end of mustard around here.

Happy marketing!

Don't forget to sell some mustard. When they are handing out pie......take a piece.
