Does anyone know where I can obtain historical data for these three CBOT reports? -Deliverable stocks of grain -Daily Receipts and Shipments -Daily CBOT Grain Warehouse Receipt/Certificates

I believe Helge is taken out of context in this video. I would not describe the immigration debate in Norway as an "increasingly intense and heated" one. At least not more intense and heated as anywhere else in the west. Of course, if you are to only study the debate amongst anonymous crack pots...

This is a national tragedy. 7 confirmed killed in bombing in Oslo, 10 confirmed in the shootings at Utøya where the labour party held their annual youth camp. Witnesses tells of far more casualties. "I wish I could have been at Utøya to tell him to shoot me instead of these innocent...

Although fishmeal is a good protein source in feed, it's use is marginal in the grand scheme of things. Only round 5 mill. MT last couple of years, compared to ca. 160 mill. MT soybeanmeal (this year 175 mill. MT world total according to the USDA) and 30 mill. MT rapeseedmeal. It was a...

It pays to know your competition. If you are going to trade the grains, you should read up on cargill, ld, adm, bunge and the like. And, if you have no ag background, find some resources that could teach you something about farming.

Well, those meal prices are relatively low for all oilseeds at the moment, rape, soy and even sunseed. Seeds and beans are not, and oils aren't either. What we know now is that you probably aren't going to get much early beans out of braz this year (if any), which means preassure on beans in...

You're forgetting the supply side of the equation. US ending stocks for 2010-11 is projected at 1,9m bales - lowest in over 50 years. And that is with a conservative estimate of exports...

Even though I do think you're right, if you are to put on a decent line in those far dated wheat spreads, you ought to start early (they trade thin). My guess is that, when comes january-february-march, new crop's structure will be steeper than this, even though Europe is exporting like never...

Anyone keeping an eye on those new-crop wheat spreads? Getting awfully flat in post-july 2011 here. They have been planting winter wheat with both hands in Europe. And that carry over of SRW in US aint going nowhere with half of australias wheat crop downgraded to feed. I think there are some...
