US dollar

The USDX made a 33 month high today.
The CAD is doing a little better than it was 33 months ago.

Thats good. Low dollar is good for grain.

How in the world is our dollar even at .75 u.s. anyway, with all the issues we have here? Our country is financially dead, and being held hostage by pirates as we speak with no end in sight and no hope of leadership. Yep, #shutdowncanada alright.

We would be close to par if we had good governance.

The best timers my farm had were the highest price fuel and the highest price CAD. Bull $hit that low CAD makes high commodity price

1985 high is where it's going if it breaks 103. I highly recommend asking a neighbor or family member about that timeframe if you are not familiar.

Yep, best times here were the golden years 8 years +/- ago when Canadian $ was well over par. Would like to get back there again. Not any time soon with the Liberal inflicted deflation though.

USDX 34 month high. Flight to perceived safety is well underway

As Errol pointed out China's incredible growth drove a worldwide commodity boom. When China's growth slowed, commodity prices started to decline. It started while Harper was in the PMO.

Now that China is slowing even more and the Corona virus is having a big impact, all bets are off where the world economy will go.

For those of you who think that the commodity boom was a normal state of the world economy, you must not have been paying attention to the history of booms and busts in the commodity sectors.

How many successful farmers take only the results from their highest income years to make plans for the future? It can lead to a whole lot of disappointment.
