So who is buying?

During those hot dry weeks we had 2 weekends you could hear the thunderstorms going by but we got near nothing.
Some only a few miles away got significant rain.

Specialty Canola
$25 ×50×320=400K
Rain lottery.
Half a crop for SF3😁
Never been a year like it where a few are once in a lifetime lucky and down the road worst crop in a lifetime.

Best we heard is a small area SE of kelvington.
85 bly
40 to 50 canola..
Won the rain lottery this yr..

Being in that zone a few things on that. We never got more rain so much as far less heat, and high humidity. Not a lot of days above 30, hottest was 33. We also had subsoil to spare to start with.

And even so, there was lots of stuff that was far less. In other words, Averages are less for sure. There were some real doozy crops for sure. My crops were ok, maybe twenty per cent of normal average. My poor looking barley was a pretty crazy surprise in a good way, much better than it looked.

Not as many or as full grain bags as a whole. Especially oats.

Needs to rain though to recharge, or next year will be a different story.

Bigger sloughs and lakes still have higher water than the long term average.

I bought a used combine off Robertson’s. They said it was the first used combine that The whole company sold this year as of 2 weeks ago.

There's enough aged inventory in combines I should be able to do another fairly cheap roll in 2-3 years.

ONLY Pattison, has 171 combines listed. Cervus/Brandt, 186 combines....keep adding other JD, CaseIH, NH....bet 700+ used

RME has 526 combines listed right now. Down from the 700+ they had last winter. Someone bought some.

If average value 300k thats 160 million inventory.
I wonder if they can convince the banker they will appreciate by holding them.

How much did RME net last year?

This auction will give a much more accurate indication than some salesman telling the are sold out of the 5 combines they can even get their hands on


Will be interesting

Pattison sold 120+ X9’s. That be another 120 coming in not listed yet.

Getting calls from salesmen saying 1 year old units still to come in. Better reserve one or they’ll be gone soon. I’ll wait to see what happens with Tingley’s sale in Oct. That will set the tone for all this used stuff. My guess is cheap. As always buyer beware, alot of them units are rough.
