Johnstons Connected Feed Market Update
We are starting to see some harvest pressure weigh on the spot feed barley market, with prices trending slightly lower as additional new-crop supply becomes available. Corn markets were also weaker today, which will be worth watching as we look toward pricing and demand for the deferred movement months.
Despite some softness in the nearby market, feed grain demand and movement opportunities can change quickly as buyers assess coverage and harvest continues across the Prairies.
If you have feed barley, feed wheat, corn or other feed products to market, reach out to the Johnstons Connected team. We are happy to discuss current market conditions, available movement windows and pricing opportunities to help determine what may fit your operation.
For current bids and movement opportunities, contact your trusted Johnstons Grain broker at 1.844.324.7778.
Grain Demand
- Red Lentils: 6000t (homes #1, #2, X3, #3 and Feed) – Let is know if you have #1s – new interest.
- Large Green Lentils: 2000t (homes for #1 -> Feed, specific demand for new crop)
- Small Green Lentils: 1000t (homes for #1 -> Feed)
- Yellow Peas: 5000t (homes for #2 -> Feed, conventional or non-glypho)
- Green Peas: Limited demand
- Maple Peas: Limited demand
- Kabuli chickpeas: 2000t (#2 -> Feed)
For more information please reach out to your trusted broker or our main line: 1.844.324.7778
Vomitoxin, Fusarium & Ergot
We are also seeing elevated levels of vomitoxin (DON), fusarium and ergot in some of this year’s grain. These quality concerns can have a significant impact on grade, marketability and buyer specifications, with acceptable tolerances varying depending on the commodity, end user and destination.
If any of these factors are present or suspected in your crop, please make your grain buyer aware before contracting or delivery. Providing grading information, test results, photos or other known quality factors upfront allows our team to better understand the grain being marketed and match it with the most appropriate buyer and end-use market.
Clear communication before movement can help minimize the risk of rejected loads, unexpected discounts, additional testing, redirection or unnecessary freight costs. The more information we have upfront, the better we can work to find the right market for your grain.
Why It Matters!
This information is particularly important when marketing grain into the feed market. Feed buyers may have specific tolerance levels for DON, fusarium, ergot and other quality factors based on the type of livestock being fed, the inclusion rate in the ration and the requirements of the individual feedlot, mill or end user. A grading sheet or representative sample provided upfront can help your Johnstons Grain broker find the appropriate market, establish expectations before contracting and reduce the potential for rejected loads, discounts and unnecessary freight costs.
Markets and movement opportunities can change quickly as harvest progresses. For current bids, movement opportunities or help marketing grain with quality concerns, connect with your trusted Johnstons Grain broker at 1.844.324.7778.
Treads: Keeping You Rolling Through Harvest
There’s an old saying in the tire business: it’s not if you’ll need tires, it’s when. Well, when is now.
Treads has you covered with a strong selection of commercial truck tires ready to keep you moving. From 11R22.5 and 11R24.5 drives and steers to trailer tires, plus a variety of harder-to-find and uncommon sizes, we can help you find the right tire for the job.
We’re expecting a full shipment of tires to arrive in October, and with Treads inventory rolling out the door fast, now is a great time to get ahead of your fall tire needs.
Pre-orders are available now — secure the sizes you need before the shipment arrives and inventory gets spoken for. Whether you’re gearing up for harvest, fall hauling, or the miles ahead, don’t wait until you need tires to start looking for them.
