As I flip through the ReMax listing for farms and land for sale it has me thinking about the next generation. I am constantly hearing from my parents how high land prices have gotten in the last few years and how can someone even get ahead now a days, especially with the soaring interest rates and all the input costs that go into farming. To this the reply is usually “You can’t, no matter how hard you try it is getting harder and harder to get ahead in this industry.” With the rising prices how is one to get started farming or even become a part of the family farm that currently exists. I for one have started considering buying land to contribute more to the family farm, but after seeing prices and all the factors that come along with that the dream is seeming farther away. One might say the only way to get into agriculture is to be passed down everything, which is an option for some but for many it’s not. 
Barley : The feed barley market is as hot as hot can be. A combination of increased demand as well as limited supplies of both barley and substitute products is cranking up the heat. For the second year in a row across the province it is quite dry causing significantly less than ideal forage situations. Another substitute product corn has also seen its pricing surge on the back of delayed seeding in the American Midwest. Prices have been heard as high as $280/MT into feedlot alley in southern Alberta. This is a weather market however, and rainfall to restore pasture conditions will seriously cool off the feed barley markets.
Wheat: The feed wheat market has hopped on the same pricing rally train as feed barley. Feed wheat bids have jumped ~$0.30/bushel around many areas of the province. Milling wheat has also seen a strong rally. This week however, the milling markets have been dropping double digit dollars per metric ton. We have seen large jumps both up and down day to day. The durum market has been firming up and holding their gains.
Canola: At last there is some good news on the canola front. Pricing has been trending up slowly and beginning to make the slightest start at recovering; peaking last week as high as $460 for July. Wet conditions in the mid-west have strengthened market prices across the board and canola was no exception. You can see the future trends below courtesy of www.barchart.com.
The Rally continues! Buyers are hungry and supply is low, prices are reaching new highs. It is like a true rally race, buyers are anxiously waiting for new offers to post (ready, set, go). The one who hits the buy button first wins the race. It’s an exciting time to be a grain broker. In this upward market we are seeing the frustration of buyers, be it to find the grain, pay high prices and to settle for the demands of the seller. We have been seeing the highest demand for Barley, both old and new crop. Following behind is Feed Wheat and Feed Oats. Call Clayton or Erin, 1-888-969-5552, ext 1

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
– Jim Majeski, Camrose, AB
“For the past seven years I’ve been dealing with the Agfinity group and what a fantastic group of people they are. From number 1 to feed grain and canola. All the buyers at Agfinity can Make it happen. Fast turn around times on every thing. Movement, payment, and the inbetween that all of us farmers don’t see or care about. Good job to the Agfinity crew and keep on buying our grain.”
