Grain Today - June 2020

3/6/2020

 
Good afternoon.
 
It has been a busy spring for all producers this year. Very few could say that they where ready for winter with fall field work complete. In fact, a large percentage still had harvest 2019 to complete when spring came. From talking to producers across the prairies this last few days I would say the majority are finally finished. Most everyone has mentioned that the crops seem to be off to a good start. Last Saturday morning Mother nature tried hard to complicate things with a bit of frost in some locations. Luckily not much if any damage.
 
Just to prove that after 35 years of farming and 15 years as a grain broker with Quality Grain that I can’t predict anything about the grain markets. Feed grain prices have held up in spite of large volumes of spring thrashed grain coming to market. We are still seeing strong feed wheat prices. $5.50 FOB ($204.50/MT) farm in Western MB and Eastern SK with prices getting stronger as we move east into MB. We are also trading feed wheat at $235-$240 delivered Lethbridge area. This has been great news for anyone who had Falling Number issues with their fall harvested wheat and also if you didn’t get it harvested before winter.
 
We are seeing barley bids hold stable at $4.00 FOB farm western MB. With better prices in Western SK ($4.40 Maidstone) and AB ($4.75 Eckville). Freight rates are much better than they where in Nov to Jan timeframe so this is allowing grain to move west which always helps prices.  
 
One thing to keep in mind there is still large volumes of 50-53lb corn sitting in farmer’s bins in Eastern MB and North Dakota. If feed wheat or barley is too expensive this corn will pull into rations. We have been shipping some of this corn into AB. As an example, we traded 53 lb corn for $4.32 picked up Carman. I had one sharp manager tell me that if 54 lb corn is $25/MT less than feed wheat it will replace almost all of the feed wheat in a ration. We are very close to that right now.  
 
There has been a very strong run up in peas in the last 6 weeks. We are seeing bids of $7.50 in MB and $8.00 in SK with stronger bids in AB. This seems to be caused by India temperately reducing their tariff on pea imports. This likely will be a short term gain as the peas have to be delivered to India by end of August to quality. That is why we are seeing new crop bids running from $.75 to $1.00 lower. If you still have some peas to market give us a call and we will help you get best price possible.
 
We are looking for:
 
Feed wheat – fall and spring thrashed- GREAT current demand.
Feed barley
Yellow peas
Oats of all grades.
We always have homes for heated or spring thrashed canola.
 
Give us a call if you have any questions or would like to pick our brains on current markets.
 
Until next time. Farm hard but safely.
