    One month until seeding

    Who in the worlds northern hemisphere will and won't have trouble seeding a crop?

    We have everything in store and not relying on to much outside help , we should be fine with getting ours in.
    I wonder about places like the eu though Italy and Spain especially where things are really shut down tight.I have to imagine France may be a nightmare of red tape and people refusing to work.

    I see cwrs is up strong again this morning . Had new crop bids averaging 7.50ish for 21 del on Friday for a 2 13.0 should be a dime higher thus morning or more will watch the basis. Going to start new crop sales very soon ifwe can get 7.75 profitable levels and risk mangement in a time like this.

        Hopefully there are people that can still afford to buy food when this is all over.

          One month to seeding, and combines here are going full tilt before the ground can thaw out. If it's not cut before it thaws, it'll be another month before you'd be able to get back on to those fields, drive down the roads, or move in the yards, that's if it doesn't rain this spring. We're very, very wet in the SE Sask, so lucky to get minimal snow this winter.

            Envious of you, still cant hardly see last years crop for the snow. Has hoped for an early spring but not looking good, as you say its gonna take a while after freeze up to dry enough to support the combines.

                  Based the question on "normal" agree there is no such thing as normal in this business, especially not this year. Hence the question.
