Folks, just a friendly reminder to check in on your farming neighbors, family members and friends. For many, 2023 was a challenging year, and crops were less than spectacular. Now we add crop markets that have been relentless in a pursuit to find market bottoms and floors. It can be heavy and it's definitely been stressful. Take a moment, call your farming friends, head out for coffee or a beverage. Head to the curling rink and toss some rocks, maybe shoot some skeet. Whatever puts a smile on your face for the day. 

Episode #15 is brought to you by John Deere and was recorded at the Farming Smarter Conference in Lethbridge, AB apologies for the sound. 

Check out www.agi3.ai "You're not average so your crop protection shouldn't treat you that way."

No special guests this week, so look for double trouble next week along with a special episode with Christi from Rebellion Farms. 

This week's hot topic:

1) Wheat wow did that get ugly in a hurry

2) Please don't give your grain away for free

Ag Headlines

1) USDA outlook numbers

2) Okanagan gets cold, fill your cellar's

Another very busy episode with the latest Ag Headlines, Crop Price moves and of course some very important segment of "Eating your Veggies". Ryan talks about his latest crop rankings which has Green Peas in the #1 spot! Malt Barley and Flax have also trended higher. Rahr has a price out on new crop malt at $6.75/bu and Prairie Malt came with a $6.50 bid. With all the new bids and the drop in wheat and canola prices, we thought it would be a good idea to update the rankings.

This week's question had me responding with the 5 stages of grief in relation to the canola market. 

Ryan Copithorne with www.cowsincontrol.com joins me this week to talk all things cattle. And to be honest it's a lot of positivity around the cattle market.

Plenty of nonsense as Ryan attempts his first LPC episode! Predictions and crop rankings are tough and sometimes a bit silly. Have a listen and reach out to the show on what you agree or disagree with. Lot's can change here, but I may be high on some of my already low crop price predictions. 

Thanks to show sponsor John Deere, always a treat seeing the new equipment in the booth. 

Ryan kicks off episode #10 by talking about the wonderful flu bug that wrecked his entire week and delayed the release of today's episode. After two weeks away, there was plenty of positive moments to pick from for positive Friday, but Finn's 1st birthday definitely takes the cake. Ryan will be in Brandon for Manitoba Ag Days next week, come see me at the Agi3 booth and we are hosting a beer night at Black Wheat Brewery powered by Agi3 and the What the Futures Podcast. Tickets Here: Black Wheat Brewery Event 

The episode turns more serious, as Ryan talks about Agfinity and the story behind slow payments to Western Canadian farmers. For headlines Ryan covers Brazil weather, USDA reports, slow Canadian canola exports and the increased farmer selling happening across the Prairie provinces. 

For market moves, Ryan encourages you to NOT lose focus on marketing your 2024 crop. Look at some of the offers on specialty crops like green/yellow/maple peas, lentils, and oats. For old crop, take a look at spring wheat which is hovering at techinical support levels, but could break support and leak lower with other markets.
