Nov 17th, 2012 - 12:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You can sow 19.4 million hectares but the harvest is totally weather dependent - unless CFK can control this also. If it all comes to harvest, good luck to them.

So this positive outlook comes from the Argentine Agriculture Ministry. Can we identify any organ of the argie government that EVER tells the truth?
Argentina is helping feed the world :)

“ JoJo, I am sure they will be using the barley themselves to make up for the poor wheat crop, freezing weather and fields underwater is not helping with the planting very much”

And now
“ great expectations in Argentina with 2012/13 soybean crop”
Poor Fred yankeedummy, wrong as usual :-)))
Marcos, Do you know the difference between WHEAT and SOY? Apparently not
Nov 18th, 2012 - 11:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0Hint, I've never seen Soy bread or Pasta in RG stores.
Even a banner crop won't save Argentina from Devaluation and HYPERINFLATION
I will laugh and laugh if you have to buy WHEAT from the USA laugh and laugh
Fred once wrote “My gripe has more to do with the various real estate contracts I was involved in. I bought and sold around 20 to 30 properties in the time I was there and every single one of them the Argies tried to screw me”
Nov 18th, 2012 - 09:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You will laugh? I am laughing now :-))))))))))))))))))))))))
Did Obama kick Romney's butt too? Your prediction was right on the money again Fred :-)))
@9 is right. He was talking wheat vs barley the entire time, because of a command economy clamp placed on wheat.
Nov 18th, 2012 - 10:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I think just about this time last year CFK was predicting a banner crop ...

Congratulations in your US election prediction.
As usual, things are looking bright for the Argentinen farmer. More GREAT news for ARGENTINA!!!!

Nov 19th, 2012 - 12:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The MBOA better not apply restrictions like the last time.
So Sr Fernandez (BA Herald today) considers the farmers strike a crime. Lot of small farmers who are not latifundista oligarchs are involved too. So ban the farmers union? Well the other unions beware. Its your turn next on the road to suppresion of all unions

Really? Last time I checked Canada and Australia are pretty much dependent on the weather, and general resources for their economy (forestry, oil, and mining).
So?
Heck, we are not the country that collapses even at the hint of an Arab-oil embargo (remember the 1970s?, in that decade the Arabs DESTROYED your economy just be tightening the faucet a little bit)...
Now that's pathetic, hahahahaha.
@17 No one listen what you say either or even read it You the latest propaganda minister? Remember Herr Goebells of the Nazi govt?

I'm argentine just like you, but unlike you, i have a different perspective of things and i don't support this regime.
18. and a few decades later we are exporting oil and nat gas . That is innovation!!
Nov 19th, 2012 - 10:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Too bad Argentina can only sell things that come out of the ground. Has anything changed there in the last 100 yrs? Oh yeah you are 40 places lower on GDP. No country has fallen further and faster than Argentina.
haha

Nov 20th, 2012 - 04:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yes Fred, they had exported so much that your biggest city, New York, still is out of gas :-))
Marcos/Think whoever you are pretending to be at the moment, you are as out of date with your news as usual.
Nov 20th, 2012 - 12:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0BTW how many factories had to shut down in BA this year because there was no gas? Couple 100? Please confirm.
The USA is very happy to sell you oil/gas and wheat. Just give us a call but we don't take pesos,
Are you protesting or did you spend the night at work?
160 road cuts today, no trains, subway, airlines...what a paradise!!
