Growth Grain Services

Over the weekend I used AI to create a Grain Trading Game based off Australian ports. Still a bit of work to do on correcting the P&L, but have a play and let me know what you think. Press the next day button to progress through the game - graintraderpro.base44.app

@markede05626239 The marginal areas loading up!

@GrowthGrain Penong had 200mm!!!!

Plenty of rain in the Riverland! This farmer from Loxton has received 105mm so far. Could be off to a good start in a couple of months if we get follow ups!

Our appreciating currency is killing local grain prices and exports today. Too much spending (mostly government) and market anticipation of interest rate rises is the culprit

@markede05626239 Uzzy is too busy worrying about left wing politics & golf to worry about making any runs

@BarryGr66 @cricketcomau I think the Aussies have found the new openers. Time for that other flog to be shown the door!!!!

Bizarre, but true! Travis Head and Jake Weatherald became the first opening partnership to put runs on the board before a wicket fell in the West Test! #Ashes live blog: cricketa.us/DayTwoLiveBlog…

@AlboIsPM @markede05626239

@markede05626239 when tariff's & duties etc don't make them cost prohibitive yes its an export market

@GrowthGrain Do they buy many peas from Australia?

India placed a 30% duty on peas overnight. Whats next? Lentils/Chickpeas? Hope not but nobody actually knows reuters.com/world/india/in…

@MattMcDonald013 @Reece_Mason1 Yes will be the same as tailem, load at 2000 tonnes per hour and won’t need to break up the train

@Reece_Mason1 @GrowthGrain Bloke from Bunge on Radio today confirmed that. will be able to load a train in 2 hours by next harvest instead of 6-8 hours or something.

The new export select rates were released late September, see below. No increases to major rail sites, while Southern Rail Sites Keith/Bordertown/Wolseley get big cuts. All other sites average an increase freight rate of 2.3%.

@Reece_Mason1 Well a few factors really. Wolseley is on the border so lower the freight, higher the prices that get posted which will drag tonnes from VIC into SA. Next the freight was probably altoohigh where it was last year vs the actual rail prices charged. Last yes the rail bins will help

@GrowthGrain 11.6%reduction for Wolseley is huge! Is that purely due to the new site there being more efficient??

I send two messages a day Mon-Fri, if you are on my distribution list you should be getting them.

Getting reports some people haven't been getting my daily messages. It seems most of these people are running Android phones. I think a recent software update has caused some phones to mark my messages as spam or unknown/unread. Have a look in those areas for the txt's.

@AlboMP Well that’s just terrific for the people who have just finished paying off all their HECS debt isn’t it. Can we get a 20% rebate back on what we paid cash in hand. That’s right thought not

We've just introduced a bill to wipe 20% off all student debt. Just as we promised.
