Feed Pea Benchmark Report Jun 22/19

Grain prices have remained very strong across the prairies given drought conditions in the prairies and significant moisture in the Midwest. There has been rain in key parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan to relieve some pressure on pricing, but that is being counteracted by futures prices increasing today. Proteins have moved up the last couple weeks due to a combination of increasing futures prices and greater demand then expected for DDGS with beef packers dragging contracts and more cattle in lots. Feed peas have continued to bring values to rations at delivered prices of approximately $260-265 Red Deer, $255-260 Saskatoon area, with slightly higher prices in Manitoba.
 
AB: $348
SK: $333
MB: $316

Running a Farm Store + Starting No-Till Gardens w/Blue Goose Farm

Video: Running a Farm Store + Starting No-Till Gardens w/Blue Goose Farm

We cover: today we are chatting with Keenan McVey of Blue Goose Farm in Ontario Canada. Keenan, along with his wife Ashley, run this small farm and along with it a really interesting, in-town Farm Store that is a little different from what you might think of as a farm store and has proved to be an invaluable marketing option for them. Keenan’s roots are in the culinary world, and the farm was also started with another chef from the area some of you may know, named Matty Matheson (of the excellent show The Bear). Keenan tells us that story as well as helps detail the technical stuff about how the gardens were created and how they are maintained.
