[bucket]

I laugh everytime I think of that skit from Saturday night live ....

You lose on every transaction but make it up on volume....****ing stupid but so true.

Anyone who thinks there is lots of durum out there hasn't seen the crops from Rosetown to south of Swift current !

Lots of durum in the bins before the combines headed to the field wiseguy. Zero durum shortage this year

A local guy who quit farming and rented some of his dirt to a local BTO is a combine jockey for them now....he used a three digit number to describe the durum crop yeild afew miles from here...lol. No really thats what he said. Personally I don't believe it would be the average in that block of land they farm.
This wasn't worth repeating....worse than coffee shop talk.

Italy no longer buying because of the roundup residues. At least you can still sell as feed and spray all the roundup on the crop you want.

Italy is likely no longer buying because it has no $USD. Same is the case for China, India, Turkey and all the other places we ship our commodities to. This is the death knell for our farms. It is over.

Lentil and pulse acres probably went to durum....reduction in potential soy acres also probably affected the durum number....

Too bad our farm group representatives (cough) could not correlate the impact of shitty pulse prices coupled with limited movement.

And people think this crop will move ...what a ****ing joke...inventories are rising here and markets are disappearing ...meanwhile the issue gets zero interest from politicians...

The liberals have shit on western oil exports, completely ignore ag in western canada....and the farm groups are silent...keep this up and I might as well buy a teepee to live in as well...

Trudeau can't keep pulling the spark plugs out of the canadian economy's engine and expect the engine to run on 2 cylinders...dairy and auto....can he????

they are both government supported... some of the rest of the economy has to pay for his incompetence.

Durum and lentil acres will never come down. Firstly, a .17 green lentil still pays more than a $6 yellow pea. Chickpeas can be an adventure to grow with high risk. So what does a guy grow as a pulse in the rotation? Chickpeas have slid from 70 plus cents to maybe 21 today. Every dog grew more because of it. I was one of those dogs, but only grew them because of a couple half sections had root rot. I hadn’t grown them since 13.
Durum growers say they won’t grow wheat because it yields way less and pays less. So let’s flood that small market. I grow a lot of durum but also put in 7 quarters of wheat just to have some.
For the second year now wheat is out yielding the durum by a big difference, and at today’s price is paying more.
Durum and lentils have been the staple crop for those who can grow but big acres of both were going to hurt eventually. I can’t see a reduction in either come next spring.
By the way I grew $6 peas thinking I would be the only one guess I was wrong.
