Haim, My information is that the South American crop was ok, but not great. I have no idea how the Ukraine crop is doing. But, if the ruskies can find money for seed, they can not figure out how to distribute a bushel of grain across the street. <ggg> >>As far as I know even Romania is exporting grains to the US. I will have to look into this. The Canadians drive their trucks across the border here in Minnesota and North Dakota dumping their crops. A currency problem for US farmers. I am not being judgmental with this statement, if they can make a buck doing this go for it. <g> The Canadians are better off than the US as far as moisture is concerned, but they are like North Dakota, the growing acreage is small and their northern climate limits the quality of their grains, i.e. protein levels. For your information, the price of grain depends on the level of protein in the kernel. There can be a 100% difference in the price from very low protein to very high protein levels. The North Dakota Red River area, in the middle of the state raises grains with the highest protein levels in the world. I am sure this is just the information you need this Sunday morning. <ggg> Joan
