Opinion on Hard red winter crop.

Doesn't sound too impressive.

The winter wheat crop always has some bad news in the spring and it seems to pan out better than expected.

Moisture patterns are changing and not for the better for that area . West coast systems shifting north and eastern US moisture belt stuck in place or moving slightly eastward, leaving the hard red winter wheat area high and dry .
The later snowmelt will help most western Canada from drying out too soon but still will need way above normal rains to get to average regardless of snowmelt in the vast majority of western Canada

I agree, we often hear that stuff in Feb, maybe Mar.

But I thought this was more note worthy because it's April 10th.

Yes the crops of that region should be headed out or very close to heading out already depending on how far south they are. High moisture usage time of year for them.

Haven’t sold a bu of wheat … and the crooks won’t be getting any of it until prices start changing. Getting tired of daily calls especially from brokers.
I won’t post what I told them.

Kansas wheat conditions dropped by three per cent to 13 per cent good to excellent, while 61 per cent of the crop is rated in poor to very poor condition. The drop in conditions were expected as dry conditions and high winds were commonplace last week. The drop in wheat condition pushed ratings down to the levels reported in 2018 during this week. Conditions in Oklahoma dropped six per cent to 20 per cent good to excellent, which is the lowest rating levels since 2018. Texas conditions dropped one per cent to 17 per cent good to excellent. The drop in crop ratings coincided with additional drop in subsoil moisture levels. Kansas subsoil moisture levels are now at 83 per cent short to very short. Oklahoma moisture conditions are 71 per cent short to very short, while Texas is rated at 65 per cent short to very short.

The market is always right. A crappy hard red w.w. crop has been known since last fall. I do note that Canadian Prairie wheat basis has deteriorated lately and that's not helping either. It's been a poor management decision to be long wheat (or canola). Unfortunately my bins are more full than empty. I hope there is a reward in the future. Long grain keeps we from spending stupid coin on equipment I don't really need.

Yeah I don’t get it. Getting more calls than I ever have from brokers, yet they are unwilling to raise price to get what is in the bin. Seems if you want it, you have to pay up. No?
