    Why is wheat not moving or is it the Sleeper of 2020

    It is so dry in Kansas its not even funny. Winter wheat was seeded later and not as much.

    Ukraine is dry also, plus Russia.

    Australia is going on year three and will seed into dust again.

    Canada has shit wheat according to elevators who are selling it just fine around the world.

    So is wheat the sleeper in 2020.

    The USA will grow more soy.

    Argentina was dry but got rain on the weekend.

    Just wondering.

      What I have harvested is nice and dry now and tucked away for a long winter's nap.

      Elevators are having fun with farmers all in the name of profit.

              When you have zero transparency to the open market its easy to hide your profits...

              You can thank the WCWGA and Ritz for the mess we are in.....

              The sales should be publish weekly
              The freight costs should be published every 3 months along with the increases proposed...

              Every thing should be out in the open in this industry just like the weekly crop report the province does....


              Otherwise it's not an open market ...is it?????

                So again, what would you do with this information? I can’t digest what we already get. If I’m checking basis and spreads and running the farm I’m maxed out.

                Be careful what you wish for. More published information might just benefit customers or competitors more than the farmer.

                    The Saudis got the money they paid nothing for the CWB....

                    The money went to the entity of the CWB and stayed there for the new entity G3 to use....

                    They paid nothing for the CWB....and were given the purchase money .....
