Hahn Farms will host their 18th annual Unreserved Auction on Monday, Dec. 3 east of Stratford, Ont.

Hahn Farms began running their auctions back in 2000, when the sale took place over two days, with more than 750 tractors sold.

“It’s an event that people call us about year-round.” says Michael Hahn.

At last year’s auction, 1,200 people attended on-site and 4,000 registered to bid.

The auction dates are carefully chosen based on crop conditions so that farmers can come to the sale.

“We even take hunting season into consideration as well.

“It’s not just another sale. We try to make it the best for everybody.”

The auction consists of Hahn Farms Ltd.’s own large selection of used and unused farm and industrial equipment, trailers as well as some consignment stock.

Customers can also bid online in real-time or leave an advanced bid on machinery.

The sale location is 2695 Perth Line 34, Hwy. 7 & 8, east of Stratford, Ont. and will begin at 8:00 am sharp. Visit www.hahnfarms.on.ca to register online.

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.
