A complete supply chain is as important as ever. Seed going out today in Dresden, ON will hopefully produce natto in the belly in one years time in Tokyo. @Agridome@NKSeedsCanada@JarodJ1041
@islandviewag@MaizeingPete Commmon, don’t be a couple of old boys discouraging a good incentive.
- Closer to markets than the prairies, we’ve got the infrastructure to move it.
- 1M in tiling goes far enough when you’re starting out.
Let’s grow!
@MaizeingPete@farmerschneck could help minimize the drag here.
3, Weed management is pretty well understood with the limitations and costs of IPs. Starting clean a must.
I think with managing these factors yield drag shouldn’t be higher than 10%. On 60-70bu ground this is still likely too much to give up
@MaizeingPete@farmerschneck 2. protein drag. Food grade beans specially for tofu are bred for ~42% and more importantly a higher 11S:7S protein ratio. While nitrogen is key nutrient to creating protein (and yield) 11S proteins have a higher need for micros like sulphur. Field choice or feeding accordingly
Rain makes grain, but also moves grain. Need to buck this trend before new crop shipping season. Low water surcharge now in effect for the tail end of our export.
@jpgervais Canadian soy basis appreciated to nearly match the 25% tariff. As many soybeans as possible to ship went to China from Canada that year. We even bought in US beans to replace our crush needs
Great to have @ArlanFF101 out to our DG Global event today in Dresden. Informative presentation on current market drivers and risks. Thank you to all the producers who joined in for the discussions.
@MaizeingPete I’d like to add that harvest bean basis could drop faster than the jaws of Ontario white commerciallers calculating one months cost of interest from October to November
@dfergusonGGF I offloaded my increased costs backpack onto the global market when it reacted to possible fertilizer shortages. Most profitable year on the hobby farm yet. Would still be the true at current prices. 🤷♂️
