More is always better but 36 x 12 is still $432. That's a pile of groceries.
I sold last week for $12.25 dec. There were specials to $12.70 for spring. I bet there is upside potential yet but gotta pull the trigger at some point.

I think guys poured the groceries to it for 45bpa and priced at 10 bucks a bushel because that looked OK. .
Some were short/ emptied out on the contracts which is why the increase in prices....
With a normal rainfall 10 bucks would have been the high...

I would expect an increase in our production cost also. Equipment and repairs, fuel,
Seed chemical all due to virus related production
Problems legitimate or not.

Yes I guess that would suck, especially if they had to buy some contract back.

At 12 bucks plus lots should be priced now.

Holding for spring. I am betting a buck higher at that time once the bins are emptied. Gotta make up those lost heat blasted bushels somehow.

Who needs Vegas? Gotta a have a couple of bins to “play” with. Got 3/4 of the crop sold which is very unusual for us so the rest gets to sit and see what happens............ probably plummet like cattle prices but there’s only one way to find out.

Highest cost crop to grow here.
Highest margin potential too.

Feeders up 75 dollars a head from two weeks ago...maybe woodland will get a stronger market yet .

LMFAO..... better book your canola seed or the new and improved varieties will be sold out!
I am so over that sales pitch. Let the high testosterone farmers compete for and drive up the price on stuff that in some cases only gets a name change!
If we don't see some soil moisture replenishing rains next April it will be pretty hard to get excited about spending big money on the high cost and risk of getting canola established in dust.

I’m hoping to see basis drop to under -15 in the April to July period assuming crushing and exporting continues at current rate., barring any blockages or strikes.

Some components of what made up my specialty canola premium over commodity canola are shrinking.
Difference in basis between the two, the locked in positive basis is set in stone but the usual negative basis of commodity canola might shrink as the marketing year continues. And there isn't much carry in the futures out to July which my basis is locked in against.
I don't think I hit it yet

Not that I know of.

The basis is fixed? You don't add a basis premium to whatever the regular basis is at the time?

My contract: fixed basis over July contract. No adding positive and negative basis to net positive. Only positive!!!
How I see it as being even better:
Fixed basis, add the usual negative commodity canola basis plus the carry in the market between nearby and July.
$500 futures. Let's say the fixed basis is positive $50. A regular basis is usually a negative value, say $30. And lets give the market $10 in carry.
Early(Oct to Dec) commodity canola pricing:
$500 - $30 = $470
Late(July) specialty canola pricing:
$510 + $50 = $560
A difference of $70.
I kinda see the negative basis in commodity canola as a gain in specialty canola pricing because it isn't deducted off specialty pricing( debatable theory) And carry is a given fact.....until there is very little or an inverse which we are seeing now.
Clear as mud?

Think so....
Cargill specialty canola has the basis premium as an addition to whatever their basis for the day is for generic.
Just add the premium to the price of the day.
Example: April delivery is +56 so today the April price is 553.90 + 56 = 609.90

I think Richardson's specialty crush is the same as you describe.
But only a schtoopit foolaholic would want to be in a Clearfield Nexera program like I am, unlike Richardson's or Cargill's

Figure this out:
April del 9 under May
May del 5 under May
June del 25 under July
July del 23 under July
Either they know something or they are going to shut the generic line down for the summer or someone is asleep at the wheel
Exports are 1,112,100 tonnes ahead of last year at this time

Some GrainCos can choose to export their purchases or crush them domestically. I would think they would do what was more profitable. Those numbers make it look like they WANT IT NOW. ALSO, take into account there is an inverse or very little carry in the market and it screams that "WANT IT NOW" even louder.
S/U appear to be heading quite low. Pipeline supplies?

Canola looking to go inverse
May -July already inverse
Soybeans already inverse
Buyers are wanting soybeans and canola now, just need demand to remain stable to see prices in the teens.
