Marketing Grain

Opinions are like assholes...everyone has one! And some may stink more than others.

Love that saying lol

Well 13c lentils are looking a lot better than $750 per acre fertilizer and a DOA durum market.

Insanity, seems the durum market has some breathes of life lately.

I hope you guys realize my first post in this thread is dripping with sarcasm!

$6.25 durum, $650 urea, pretty easy math.

When you look at T-Bay or West Coast asking prices for #1 wheat, or think about the prices the. Wizard of Oz"(Mallee) quotes...looks like there might be some upside. Russia/Ukraine tensions disrupting shipping etc out of there.

Durum....wait till fuzz rears its ugly head again! Hello $4 durum....I haven't followed port prices for durum....what is the percieved spread between port asking and farmgate prices? Then there's the mysterious US destination durum...what is it worth? I probably won't grow durum again until I forget how miserable grading and marketing fuzz infected durum can be! ...too susceptible.

I just didn't want you thinking I'm as dumb as you think I am!
I hope there's upside yet! Might be time to offer my wheat at a healthy "premium" over current values....limited tonnes....limited time offer.
