I'm 60 percent unsold. All clean, dry and segregated in a co-op store. On the flip side, I only had 110ac of combinables.
In February it looked like there may not have been a crop with the huge puddles.

Poultry, pigmeat and egg prices are going to have to rise, otherwise demand for your expensive wheat is going to collapse.

Nothing sold here but I’m not going to wait for the last penny. Always bust will follow boom exactly when will be out of our control but it will come. Everything here commodity wise has gone up to near double last year this time. Fertilizer too. I produce wheat for the feed market and have had a good year despite the lack of rain. Thanks to 60 ft of clay beneath black clay loam. So at double the price it’s looking to be a stellar year. Had prices not risen it would have broken many farmers that have over extended in recent years. Fert prices will hurt but not as much as feed will hurt pig chicken and egg producers. Sad times if their produce doesn’t go up. General public will have to take their share of inflation and pay up.

I thought wheat grew on soil
Thats the hard way to get hold of it.
bought wheat futures - I have twice as much wheat to sell right now than I grew

A sad reflection on "the system" when you can make as much or more from trading bits of paper than from actually producing the stuff.

why dont you sell all the ground and kit and just do it all online from your mansion? sounds too good to be true, once you buy these futures how long until you have to sell before the wheat actually gets delivered to your door?

the price only matters on 2 days - the day you buy and the day you sell, its got a fair way to fall yet before I’m into I losses
Unfortunately that's been the case for many yrs.
Yes nothing new to see here

I believe CRM do training days on how to use these options, are they worth doing or are there better ways to educate yourself?
