Richardson - Canola - 2019 ?

[Partners]

By being to efficient and growing great crops we may have worked ourselves out of a good paying job..

Pretty early to panic yet, stick to the rotation that works in your area. Soon as everyone jumps ship to a replacement crop its just gonna devalue it anyway.

Was trying to explain the impact going forward of acreage shifts to politicians within the last few days .....not a ****ing clue ...after a few minutes they start giving me email to write a letter....

As usual my comment was....so you don't understand what I just told you????/

We are just going to have to seed more acres of canola and try to make it up on volume. There is going to be a shortage on clubroot spray this year. I would be buying double what you need, sell the surplus for twice the price and then hey! Free clubroot spray this year! Arbitrage.

They better make some soon. Its going to be a weird spring. I predict that with these low canola prices farmers are going to have to seed more and go for higher yeilds.
Nothing else makes profit. So ultimately they will plant a crop where they will lose the least with a very good possibility the ban will be lifted and profitable canola prices will be available by harvest time .

I fear that farmers are no reading the tea leaves here. China has said that more companies will get the export ban. Richardson is just the first. There is no resolution short of letting Meng go that will appease them. And on the side, Trump s expected to make a huge ag deal that may render our commodities less desirable. Going for more yield is not the answer here. You could be sitting on it for a long time.

Well then, let's sit on it until we separate and join the US.
