That guy was forecasting that 2019 was going to be a wet tough year in Ag for the northern states

Saying the same thing for 2020, late planting, flooding after snowmelt, cool.

Hmmm , and yet farm incomes are set to plummet in 2019 and don’t look any better for 2020 .
If there was a food shortage, due to climate lol , our prices should be much much higher ,
This the middle man .....too many of them , are screwing the consumer ....... not much said about that . Maybe Loblaws is paying off the media as well just like the Liberano’s lol

Not if there is suppression by the market mechanisms. That's what he is arguing. USDA and other covering up real inventories. Seems weird for Brazil to import corn and grains doesn't it?

10M unharvested acres, 2M in Sask alone, more than 5M in the US, 15% decline in yields, low test weights etc.

Just seems strange when you hear on the news all the time Price of food is going up through the roof then you get a texts from a grain company with a shitty price then telling you to hurry and sign up because future months are filling up fast and they will soon not have room for yours?

Had a trucker in the yard to other day from somewhere in Manitoba and he had cattle and wasn't able to produce enough feed for them because of drought. We was buying feed and it was costing more than last year. He wanted to sell some off instead of buying feed but the price for the cows was dismal.

None of this makes sense!
