Good stuff YC. Agree with all of that. Might have to start wearing my jocks on the outside and don a cape! I eat a lot of oats after all.
Was hoping that Russian export restriction beat-up went on a little longer and took CBOT up to last year's high. Would have been one mother of a shorting opportunity! Still could be but the trade right now is probably long wheat as it found support and bounced after a nearly 90c/bu fall. In general world wheat stocks are sufficient without being abundant so as is often the case, we're only a drought away from very high prices. When someone can predict the weather with accuracy, 12 months out, let me know!
All the best for the year ahead to any farmers on this forum! Hope you manage to find the best yields and prices possible!
