$10 Yellow Peas.... CWRS Spreads & the Rules. Ag360 Stops by to chat A.I.

Grain prices are moving higher, yellow peas are pushing toward $10/bushel, and farmers across the Prairies have some important crop marketing decisions to make.

In Episode 147 of What The Futures, Ryan Denis breaks down the latest grain market opportunities, discusses how to protect your value when dealing with grain buyers, and sits down with Mike Murphy of AG 360 to explore how AI and technology are changing the future of farming.

First, Ryan is joined by Sarah Cochet with Trigger to discuss hard red spring wheat spreads, No. 3 wheat discounts, and what happens when a farmer locks in a grain contract spread only to face resistance from the buyer at delivery. They dig into the importance of understanding elevator spreads, checking contract terms, and negotiating to protect your bottom line.

Ryan also reviews the latest crop marketing opportunities across Western Canada, including yellow peas approaching $10/bushel, flax bids reaching $18/bushel, hard red spring wheat prices nearing $10/bushel in parts of Saskatchewan, durum opportunities, and malt barley prices. He also shares his thoughts on wheat futures, basis improvements, and preparing a crop marketing strategy for the 2027 growing season.

Then, Mike Murphy joins the show to explain AG 360, an agricultural technology platform designed to bring farm data, equipment information, grain marketing, and farm management tools together in one place. They discuss how artificial intelligence can help farmers make better decisions, reduce time spent on spreadsheets, improve efficiency, and take emotion out of crop marketing decisions.
