Would it be foolish to buy $960 Nov 22 puts at $$75/t???
Good question for April fools day 2022!!!
Spent an hour listening to Cargill marketing outlook this morning…
Interesting that they were completely caught off guard by the Russians invading Ukraine…
Discounting Ukrainian 2022 wheat production by 30% at this point could well be getting the horse before the cart…
Canada has priced ourselves out of all Canola export markets… the EU refuses to take our GMO canola for anything but biofuels…
160,000ac increase in 2022 pea acres in the US (mostly North Dakota) if we have any where near a ‘normal’ yellow pea crop in 2022 the high value US fractionation market will dry up More Quickly than our fields have in the past 2 weeks!!! (And that has been record fast!!!)
So… for an April fool… reduce pea acres… increase wheat??? Canola at 40%, Peas 15% , Barley (that weed) 5% Wheat 35% Flax 5%?
A fool’s errand… some Faba Beans???
All I know is if I did the opposite of what Cargill wanted we farmers to do… (in the past 3 years) their track record would be outstanding!!!
But… even a broken clock is right once In 24 hours!!!(24hr clock)
Cheers
P.S. the irony of the Canola market taking off right now…is wild…prophetic… and on top Cargill said they were recommending be short May22 Canola…
That would be a very risky decision in my fools mind opinion…Last edited by TOM4CWB; Apr 1, 2022, 10:41. -
April Fools Joke in January...Originally posted by sawfly1 View Post
Texts, emails show what Ottawa police told convoy protest organizers ahead of occupation

Text messages between one of the convoy protest organizers and an Ottawa police officer show how police told protesters where to park, which one expert calls an agreement gone awry.
Convoy protest organizer Chad Eros filed an affidavit with the Ontario Superior Court as a respondent to the proposed class-action lawsuit responsible for halting the honking downtown. In that affidavit, text messages and emails revealed how organizers communicated with police days before thousands of people and hundreds of vehicles began to paralyze downtown streets.
On Jan. 25, three days before the most eager first convoy protesters arrived with large trucks to block city streets, Ottawa police Const. Isabelle Cyr-Pidcock texted Eros instructing him to send her an itinerary of the protesters.
"I will have a definite plan for you tomorrow morning," read the officer's text to Eros.
The protest organizer responded by saying he was "so happy" police and organizers could work together, and the officer responded with "Absolutely!"

Coventry Road lot 'secured' for protesters
The affidavit does not include all communication between the two. It does include another text on the night of Jan. 25 where Cyr-Pidcock sought itinerary information from Eros.
"Don't want to bug you but if you want us to work with you, I need the info that I requested. When will you send everything?" the officer wrote just ahead of the three-week illegal occupation of Ottawa's downtown core.
Eros responded to say he was working on it but no further texts appear to be exchanged on that date.
The next morning, Cyr-Pidcock tells Eros about the parking lot at Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton (RCGT) stadium on Coventry Road, which had been "secured" by police for convoy protesters coming from the east.
"You can start working on a shuttle for them," she wrote. "Almost done planning for the west convoy."
The Coventry Road encampment became a stronghold for protesters and was used to co-ordinate meal and fuel deliveries to participants downtown."Comment
