Harvest Marketing Edition: October 5, 2023

Updated: Nov 1, 2023

Production pays the bills, marketing makes the money.

Online auctions present a unique opportunity to expand your grain marketing strategy. The MGX platform offers access to a wider range of local buyers and the chance to determine the value of your product precisely when you're ready to sell. Traditionally, the Prairie grain trade has been influenced by buyers and limited to CGC quality standards. However, through expanded sample analysis and the power of online auctions, farmers can establish their desired selling price and leverage the unique quality features of their inventory within the open market.


We hope you take the opportunity to add MGX to your marketing mix this year and we look forward to improving price discovery and profitability for all our customers.


Best of luck in your fall marketing endeavors.


Cheers,


President

Red Lentils

The Red Lentil chart is not as strong as the greens but is back in an uptrend. An overhead supply of sellers needs to be exhausted before higher prices.

Kabuli Chickpeas

Kabuli chickpeas are trading near the high prices experienced since the fall of 2021. More time is needed to determine if this is the end of the move or consolidation before another leg higher.

Mustard Market Outlook

Yellow Mustard

Yellow mustard is beginning to form a base as the buyers and sellers fight to control the trend.


Brown Mustard

Brown mustard is off its lows, but it is too early to call this an uptrend.


Oriental Mustard

Oriental Mustard is similar to Brown Mustard, requiring more time to determine the longer-term trend.

Cereal Market Outlook

Canada Western Red Spring Wheat

The CWRS wheat price continues to trade in a downtrend on the longer-term timeframe, suggesting lower prices. It is too early to get excited about price rallies.



Canada Prairie Spring Red Wheat

CPSR Wheat price downtrend remains strong, telling us not to trust rallies. We don’t trust rallies in downtrends.


Canada Western Amber Durum

The fall rally has CWAD in a bullish trend, counter to the other wheats. Will this divergence continue? Will CWAD lead the other wheats higher, or will this rally be short-lived?


Oats

Like Durum, the oat chart is much stronger than the other wheats. What do Oats know? Oats are showing signs of weakness, so they may not know much. Time will tell.


Oilseed Market Outlook

Canola

The Canola price has been quick and harsh, with the downtrend remaining intact. It is too early to trust rallies


Flax

The Flax price has completed a round trip that began in 2020. It was quite a ride.
