New Crop Grain Bids
New crop bids are now readily available, with an expanded range of quality specifications added this year to better reflect the concerns being raised by both growers and buyers. With quality varying across the Prairies, including concerns around ergot, fusarium, DON levels, moisture and other grading factors, providing accurate quality information upfront is more important than ever.
New crop large green lentils, Eston lentils and red lentils are also showing some renewed strength, with values firming across several markets. Whether this strength is being driven by fresh demand, tightening availability of certain quality profiles, or buyers working to secure coverage following harvest remains to be seen. The next few weeks should provide a clearer indication of what is driving the market and whether the recent strength has staying power.
The additional quality specifications being included in bids allow us to better match grain with the appropriate buyer and end-use market, helping reduce the risk of rejected loads, unexpected discounts or delivery issues. Growers are encouraged to provide grading sheets, test results and any known quality factors when requesting bids so we can identify the most suitable pricing and movement opportunities available for their grain.
For current bids, movement opportunities or assistance marketing your grain, contact Johnstons Grain:

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.
