Looks like we are not alone. Not a pretty picture.

World famine right around the corner.
Our crops are priced half of what they should be.
If there was another drought here next year.

Agstar, are you getting any of the current rain going towards the Interlake?

Then the “no frost” event in Australia, well ......

Yep not a market moving frost event at all. May have lost 400,000 t. Drop in the bucket. Not good for those who got hit but remember average yield is barely 25 bu/ac in west Australia. When you think of it many Canadian wheat growers still waste at least ¼ million tonnes every year. Nice wheat trampled and lost in the sprayer tracks during "harvest management".
