We're buying feed barley. Bulls won't go outside. They'll be finished around June. Then spring born calves will be on creep, so can't see our consumption dropping significantly.

can anyone explain why the futures market is so far adrift of the actual bid on farm price either short term or longer ,I dont think I can in 40 odd years of selling grain seen the difference to be so large in either cash terms or %s ?? im probably wrong but ever the optimist (think thats a view only held by farmers and then only 1/2 of of us), something tells me not to sell a grain yet and im becoming more convinced every time I look /check

My guess would be we are a grain importing nation now and with significant a new industrial usage has fundamentally changed the market dynamics
