soybeans versus canola

[farmaholic]

Whats up with the $2/bu spread? Weber has beans at about $11.25 and a local terminal is at about $9.25 for canola. And for all intents and purposes....isn't the canola cupboard basically bare? I thought there were too many beans!

What's driving beans and what has the brakes on canola?

101?

With the dollar, that puts canola at $12.33 USD

They are playing games big time hoping were all broke so have to sell at combine or no bins so forced sale. Buyers are pricks get to realize that! They aren't your buddy or friend or pal! They want your product and will get it for the lowest they have to pay! Out grading system allows them full control. 2 fuz in hrs and it's a 2 really great

ADM executive at a speech said it was his job to buy the canola for lowest price, NOT on our side for sure. Said sorry but that is the fact, live with it.

Soybeans 60 lbs to bushel ,canola 50 . 20 PerCent difference in weight alone.

Canola market less liquid, less transperancy than beans, fewer players determining price. If we can pull off another big crop of beans in mb this year (need 4 weeks frost free) canola acres will drop significantly on the eastern side of mb next yr.

Things to consider -
China's new one percent dockage rule for canola is hanging over market. It is supposed to kick in Sept. 1. There will likely be some sort of resolution but the uncertainty isn't helping.
Also in last six months Dec. soy meal futures are up 22 percent. Dec. soy oil is flat.

Hey there western producer ....any mention of the enormous flood damage to china's ag land?
