      Traders are saying its a lie, rain makes grain!!
      They will be saying farmers will try anything to try and raise prices. Hope that guy with sub 10 didnt contract very much.

          Hold on to your hats. The pulse marketers are going to sit pretty quiet so they can get product as cheap as possible and the contracted acres get delivered.

          Farmers play games too. When prices go up too fast they plead "act of God" and lock their bins and the marketer is caught short. Just saying I know a few guys like that too. Remember the marketer doesn't have an out and I've seen many companies go under when the pre-sold product does not materialize.

                Why lock a empty bin?

                  Absolutely obvious quality lentils will be king this year. If you're "lucky" enough to have grown some off contract...LOCK THE BIN.
