Gp 1 seems quite tight, but is being dragged down by feed values?

Things must be changing a bit around here as I've had two loads out this morning that are on a June feed contract and they want the rest this week.

Must be quieter here May stuff is just starting to move, back end of the week. Then I can sell the balance, might sit on it for a few weeks though.

Thank you, but
I was selling it at £200 for malting not that long ago! Hey ho. The merchant has been on the phone this morning - someone else's Laureate has been rejected at the malting so mine might take its place if he can't get it up to spec in time. Otherwise it's tricking out then EDQ in July if there's a market.

Canadian wheat is the rumour.
Canada is catching a lot of China flak for holding whats-her-name Chinese billionaire Huawaee dynasty executive pending extradition to US. This is impacting Canada's ability to export ag produce to China. Presumably soya corn wheat etc ex Seattle or Vancouver is 'cheap' at the moment; it is all supposed to be going to China and not much if any of it is.

They buy South American then the south Americans import from the USA
Dry weather will get the short sellers buying and the farmers holding
Dangerous times unless you own grain like farmers do

As an importer they are minor, as/when they export it can be massive, that's the difference. When everything aligns for them to have a big harvest it has to leave the country and displaces other origins.

Yes - that is correct.
From what I gather, at this stage Manildra have approval for one boat load of a specific grade of wheat from Canada, to fill their requirements.
Cynics may suggest that this is partly to manipulate current high domestic prices, as they have fallen since that news was released.
It doesn't mean we don't have any wheat, most gets exported anyway - just that this particular grade is in short supply for this miller . . .
As for another comment about the " trade " saying Australia is insignificant - we are a major world exporter of high protein milling grain, after the US, Canada & the Black Sea. Although there has been a significant reduction in the production in the eastern states the last couple of years. WA has still produced a lot. In fact, WA wheat already has been shipped to the eastern seaboard to fill some domestic requirements ( WA is nearly entirely an exporter of wheat, not a very big domestic market )

Can you substantiate the rumour that the farmers in the eastern states are growing less wheat as they are too busy setting up sandpaper factories?
