Corn coming in this week has averaged 25% moisture.  We have seen some as dry as 22%.

Half rate drying is back! 

Any corn that can be delivered by end of day Friday will apply. It must be delivered to Campbellford and not exceed 32% moisture. This corn can be used to fill existing contracts, go into storage, or sell it when it arrives.  If you're selling it this week, you will be bid the old crop price (plus the half rate drying). Call with questions!

Delivered grain is NOT automatically sold.  It WILL automatically be applied to any contracts that you have. If you do not have any contracts, or your contracts are full, it will go into storage.  There are no storage charges until October 25.  If you want your grain to be sold as it arrives, please call us and let us know.  Otherwise, your grain will stay in storage until you instruct us to sell it. Call with any questions.

 Combine Setup: We are having some pod issues. If you are seeing full pods in your sample, run faster threshing and tighter concaves. Keep your fan speeds up. Beans are heavy and hard to blow out. You want the pods to move up off the chaffer so the beans can get through, and not into the chopper. Chaffer should be about 15mm, and most importantly, the sieve should be 5mm. If you overload the return with a 5mm sieve, you aren't threshing properly, so go back to step 1. Call Pete if you want to talk it through.  

Dead Cat Bounce: I'm going to go ahead and call the harvest low on Oct 1, right on schedule. We are now looking for a 2 week rally and 75¢ gain in price. That means we are looking for $507 or $13.80, sometime after Thanksgiving. No guarantees, but this is a pretty reliable seasonal move. No storage until Oct 25th, not too often does free and good come together...
