Front month Chicago wheat now at a six (6) year high . . . .

Can't you add some of your usual doom and gloom to that somehow....have a mars/snickers bar ...you are not yourself...


Let me help you....These are 1970s wheat prices and not adjusted for inflation...

The questions should be,
-how do we lock in these prices? Exporters, or usa exchanges
- how far into the future ?
- currency hedge at the same time?


I remember $14 canola not many years ago. Looking back, what was the best strategy to sell physical, own paper, how many years, what floor and ceiling prices etc ? Land prices are fixed, mortgage rates ? Fertilizer and fuel, is there a effective way to hedge with out mortgaging more to cover trading accounts? Doing all this could one see 20% return on investment?

Personally, still believe Minneapolis may be the sleeper as it has been heavily discounted to Chicago. If drought conditions persist in Black Sea and Texas, there will be a focus to increase spring wheat acres. One strategy is sell your cash CWRS and replace with MWE calls to re-open your price ceiling. This strategy limits your risk exposure to the cost of the call option, plus generates cashflow. But if MWE blows higher, you are on-board.

Grains are the hottest sector in the commodity world right now . . . .

On the same topic, sort of.

This past spring a person could buy diesel about .50 cents per litre, today .90 ish.

Hind sight, Cash, tank infrastructure etc that would have been a good buy / investment etc

Sometimes the best returns are on the expense side of the business not on the commodity sale

'Defense wins championships' and business no different . . . cut costs, reduce debt load, price risk management.

I just hope the grains bonanza relates to increased farm gates , even if just for a bit

Wheat up again.
Wheat below $7 now appears to be happy hour pricing.

When will this bull market end?

Rain in crucial areas will end bull run perhaps?

Market talk is Russian decisions imminent about export quotas or cuts to protect domestic reserves.
Knowing Russia probably worse than is being let on

Rain in Russia, Ukraine or Western Australia will kill the bulls?
