Faba Bean Feed Benchmark

Prices on wheat and barley remained largely unchanged over the past two weeks across the Prairies.
 
Corn, however, moved $10/T higher on strengthening futures markets and transportation issues on US corn. Corn DDGS increased by $20-30/T because of increased demand caused by the continuing escalation of feed protein prices.
 
Soybean meal increased by $70-90/T across the Prairies over the past two weeks with canola meal increasing by $50-60/T. Feed grade peas and lentils continue to be scarce but are now pricing into most diets.
 
Manitoba pricing on any product available ranges from $270-280/T, with a trading range of $260-270/T in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Video: Dry Farming, Deer Fencing, and Cover Crops in the Paths with Eric Nordell

We cover: today I am so excited to share this conversation with my buddy Eric Nordell of Beech Grove Farm in Pennsylvania to chat about, well, a lot of things. Eric and his wife Anne have run beech grove farm since 1983 and they do things a little differently (like farming with horses) but they dry farm which we discuss, they use some cover crops in the paths in interesting ways (also discussed) and in fact, we get into a whole digression about their deer fencing that you’re gonna wanna hear.
