Malt Barley

[Fransisco]

I was talking to my cousin in Huntley MT, and he is selling 3 loads of malt to go this morning @ $11.03/bus.

Why is Board so far out to lunch??

Snappy,

Who EXACTLY does the CWB work for... 'designated area' inmates... of CWB Agents that buy all CWB grain?

The CWB 'monopoly' was always meant to keep prices down... that has not changed!

[parsley]

snappy, is that an $Am or $Cdn?

Sounds like your cousin is actually talking $11.03/cwt - which is how the trade quotes barley prices in MT.

$11.03/cwt = $5.42/bu

That's a more contemporary price in the US (actually on the low side)

Chaff nice try.

I am not taking sides, but Bottineau Farmers Elevator quoted me $6 a bushel for malt this am. They do quote MOST of their prices in hundred weight in the US. Just my 2 cents....

Current prices:

Great Falls........$11.00 / cwt
Golden Triangle....$11.00 - $14.00 / cwt
North Central......$11.00 / cwt
North East.........$11.00 / cwt

West Fargo.........$5.75/bu
Minneapolis........$7.15/bu

If someone is out there paying $11.00/bu, please let me know. I'd sell that all day long.

FYI, to me then. Did not know that.
