    Pea Prices and Rain and other stuff

    Peas are not huge part of our programme only 400 acres don't know what prices are doing on the praries but $540 to 560 on farm depending on grade wheat barley everything is moving up. Weve negotiated with end users a price of $250 on farm for feed barley and wheat were bidding $290 on farm but there baulking at the wheat price.

    Rain front anywere from 2 to 4 inches forecast here over next few days and almost 2/3 of Australia farming regions will get some godsend for some not so others.

    Sprouting is a real issue in wheat down under as its not high on breeders priorities list because heavy rain events like this only happen every few years maybe 1 out of 5 or 6.

    cheers all have a top day

    Those pea prices are 40% higher than what I see here.

    Are you growing Dun type peas?

      That has to be a misprint on the pea prices?

        Riders, green peas were near that price for a couple of years recently. Then think of the freight advantage from Oz versus Canada. We "might" see a spike for certain types yet.
