Offers out for $8.10 old crop

That be for #1 13.5ish ?

No movement in durum prices compared to HRS, look out when it happens, price could really explode.
Worst hit areas in Montana and west N.D. are the same durum growing areas. Bet there were lower acres planted as well. Weren't Canadian durum acres lower too?

No durum on this farm this year danny, they make marketing it feel like you're being sodomized that you don't even want to grow it anymore.... You listening too CGC and end users?!?!?!?!?

Didn't you get the memo. ...sign now for a contract in July....deliver in December.


That way they can use your storage and see if they actually need to pay for it or shitcan the contract.


Yerry set up a perfect system.

The railways only move 32 mmt while the farmers grow 60mmt....best way to control the market.


Meanwhile farmers build storage for 1 turn a year or every second year.

Thinking back to 2013 crop year when many questioned official crop forecast figures.
Railways used forecast to justify gearing down grain movement when they could make more money shipping other materials.
Farmers got caught holding production that they had not been willing to sell earlier.
Free market system has performed well since then, not ready to go back to more regulated marketing.

It's worked better in large part to the fact that a lot fewer natural resource commodities are being shipped on the rails due to their down turn and are not competing with grain for rail car space and locomotive power.

Railroad companies are interested in moving grain when there is less of everything else to move.
