Just funny how they all seem to do it. Coverage of all the graincos happens at the same time/day.....

Yes, like on days the futures contract that they ALL use goes up 20 cents per bushel.
Are you even aware that today the most important usda report of the year was released? It’s historically one of the most volatile days of the year. Yet you have the audacity to claim collusion because they all bought a lot of grain today as anyone would’ve expected them to given how friendly the report was forecasted to be. Did you sell any today?
And we wonder why we are labeled as a bunch of complainers..

Hey bower what’s your analysis on the collision these same companies are partaking in as they all improve their basis on canola as futures continue to rise?

First off I’m not complaining. It’s just the way it is. Very rarely do local cash bids get the full benefit of a futures rally in wheat. Canola basis improving. Well a lot more domestic use. Way more crush plants help basis. Far less processing in wheat. Yes I am foolish not to think grain co have my best interest in mind. By the way I have five terminals within 100 km. And unless some special pops up they are usually within 10 cents of each other...

Collusion......Delusion........
Farmers and grain marketers have similar trade patterns just always on opposite side of the ledger in rising markets and falling markets.
Cant have a market without buyers sellers marketers and volatilty and basis.
Amazing over years read all the USDA haters they know jack shitz etc etc not a peep from them this morn8ng even praise.
Ps not referring to this forum.
End of rant.

Your surprised that a handful of different entities marketing the same product in the same area with basically the same fixed and variable costs to the same buyers have similar prices? Please tell me why they should be more than 10 cents apart?

Silly me. They all must make the same sales to the same buyers for the same amount and need to fill the boats at the same time.

Are you suggesting their buyers, timelines, and prices aren’t similar on the other end of the transaction? I can’t tell if your even serious right now

Same Grainco at different points within 70 miles of farm is 29 cents difference for #1 13.5 wheat. It pays to follow local bids. You don't know what you don't know....

Not sure but 70 miles probably equates to 15-20c in rail freight alone. If they are on different rail lines difference could be 29 but that seems like a lot. I’d hope most understand why their wheat is worth more in lethbridge in January than Moose Jaw
Agree with you though

Wheat up .24 cents yesterday in Min.
Grain companies in Canada did zero increase.
Why because we have zero info from them on what they sell our product at the coast and to who.

Hmmm won't have many snowbirds to give reports on North Americas winter wheat conditions this year. Our local guys seem concerned, no snowcover ,no moisture,cold weather coming.

2009 was a dry year....2010 only seeded a 25% of the farm because it was so wet ...and glad i didn't seed more...
It took 10 years to get a 4 quarter block back into full production..I am not complaining about dry ...nervous ..absolutely ...but have lived through it before....being dry just seems that a guy can accomplish more at a relaxed pace...

Everyone take those stupid $7 wheat targets out and ask yourself how in **** wheat can be $6.50 when feed wheat is $7 and barley is near $6 and oats are $4-$4.50 and canola is $16 and flax is $19 and canary is $15 ........ ? Need I go on
Like I said last spring there would be lots of speculators with their pants around ankles and sore red arses ?
Well $15 canola is hurting their arses
We all knew it wasn’t there the surplus ?
Like someone else said on here there is probably a 1-2 month supply of anything in the world
They’re playing us on wheat still cause it’s the easy one

Wheat is one of the few crops that is harvested in every month of the year somewhere around the globe.

$5+US/bus corn, $6.50 feed barley or $7.50/bus feed wheat delivered to Lethbridge. All expensive. Don't know how they're staying in the black. Local rancher nearly fell over when I told him what feed barley was. He was looking for more to get through winter, but was going to weigh his options.

Who says they are in the black. You can't stop feeding just because of negative margins. As much as I like these prices if we lose feeding capacity it is not coming back and is detrimental to long term grain prices. We all need to be successful because we are integrated.

Serfas feedlot has to be a moneymaker....they grew their own feed on the 50000 acres...and will be buying calves at a reasonable price....past the winter weather....they should have a good start...

I've been told that feedlots lose money almost as often as they make money. As long as it averages out to profit in the long run it all works out. With the tax bill, staff that need to be kept busy, fixed overhead, home grown silage/feed that needs to be used, apparently better off keeping the pens full regardless of cost or loss.

Used to be lots of deferred income tax money trapped going around and around in the feedlots.
Is that still happening?
