Beef prices lift above 2016 levels

After a slump at the end of 2016, beef farmers on P.E.I. have seen prices rise back up again, according to a new report from Statistics Canada.
 
Prices for slaughter cattle peaked last year in February at $126.38 per hundredweight, before falling to a low of $93.26 in November, the lowest prices since December 2013.
 
But prices have risen every month since then. They passed the 2016 peak in May, and reached $129.23 in June.

We are taking students out to southern Manitoba to Hespler Farms! Farmer Wayne will teach students how he plants and cares for his potato crop and why potatoes are such a unique crop to grow. Teachers, check out your AITC Dashboard for Math'd Potatoes, a potato-themed classroom resource to pair with this tour video. Thank you to Peak of the Market and Penner Farm Services for making this event possible.
