Fall Run In Full Swing

The fall run is in full swing and calf prices are seeing some pressure.

 

That from Brian Perillat, Manager and Senior Analyst at Canfax.

 

"They were slow to come but now this weather hasn't been the greatest but guys are wrapping up harvest and getting calves to town," he said. "Big volumes there but the calf market has been holding in relatively well. We are certainly seeing a bit of fall run pressure, especially on these calves. Five and six weight calves have come down a little bit from their highs but we're still seeing some good calves."

 

Perillat says the fed market remains soft and feedlots continue to lose money.

 

He adds the Canadian dollar is a bit volatile with political and interest rate uncertainty in Canada and the US.

Video: Planting Corn with Classic Allis-Chalmers Tractors | Full Field Action

Step into the field for a full day of spring fieldwork as this farm plants corn using classic Allis-Chalmers power near Arcanum, Ohio. In this video, the farm is working ground with an Allis-Chalmers 8050 pulling a Salford field cultivator and Brillion Culti-Packer to prepare the seedbed. Right behind, an Allis-Chalmers 7020 handles planting duties with a 12-row White planter, putting this year’s corn crop in the ground. You’ll see a mix of aerial drone footage and ground-level views capturing all the action, along with a voiceover that dives into the history and legacy of these two Allis-Chalmers tractors. It’s a great look at how reliable, older equipment is still getting the job done during spring planting season. If you enjoy classic farm equipment, corn planting, and real-world field action, this one is for you.
