Pulses heading into new market year with positives and negatives

Pulses will be heading into a new market year after a strong performance in 2022-23.

That's the diagnosis for Neil Townsend, Senior Market Analyst at FarmLink Marketing Solutions, who spoke to attendees during a webinar put on by Grainfox.

"I think that 2022-23 has been a pretty successful year for the marketing for pulses. We've seen some prices that are ROI attractive and I think the bids that we see with a new crop - you can put it in the ROI calculator on Gainfox and try it out and you'll see that those are probably offering a pretty good investment on return and are profitable."

The crop doesn't come without its risks, as it does have a few factors that could push it down.

"I think it's disease pressure in the northern plains, disease pressures here. I think when the opportunities are relatively good for the marketing of things that are relatively more homogenous or whatever you want to say, like the corn and the soybeans," said Townsend, "In some aspects in Noth Dakota and in Manitoba for sure."

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
