Things Farners Say:

I've spent a bit of time working in our store and getting to talk to a few farm customers. Producers are happy with canola prices. Two growers sold canola at $6.50 and $6.55 per bu.(one was a truckload he had no place to bin, the other a bit to cover month end bills) Their marketing reminded me of the marketing strategy of a farming friend:
  • "I like to watch the market. I only sell canola at $9.00 a bushel or at $5.00 a bushel."
