Grain Markets Errol?

[Guest]

Even at these prices neighbor was saying he carried 53000 bu $3.50 oats over and just sold them for $5.10
paid for that bin and said he wouldn’t of kept them if he hadn’t built that bin

I had oats in a bin from Sept 2022 to Sept 2023 and sold them for as high as $5.00/bu. Hauled them out and refilled bin with $16 canola that is worth $15 today. Hindsight, I would have hauled more canola off field and held the oats. Oats will be worth $6 by April 2024. What is the return on investment of this grain storage?

Money makes money. That seed money always eluded me.

This is the same issue as diesel. We bought a 120,000 L tank. Will hold two superbees of fuel. We use about 60000 L per year. So we buy once annually. The tank makes us either really right or really wrong.

If it ever gets to 50 cents we will fill it for two seasons but when it's 90-120 cents/L it's hard to know what to do.

Do you have a seperate tank for winter diesel?

Doesn't help grain markets no snow to push and not 30 below , too easy to load now.

Is this the case across most of the prairies? It certainly is true anywhere I've travelled in Alberta.
At some point this goes from being a convenience to being a concern about moisture next season.

Sask same except maybe where SF3 is , even the swamp has none and land is drying out even more
apparently there is snow in the forecast for March so that should keep prices down

Anyone using a 400bbl tank for fuel? Looking for larger farm tank but the only thing that is priced reasonably are the surplus 400bbl tanks. If I can buy fuel for under a dollar I will be happy. Not sure we will get there though.
