MarketsFarm — While prices for feed grains have risen over the last month along with several other commodities, they’ve now declined a little bit, according to Erin Harakal, senior trader with Agfinity in Stony Plain, Alta.
“For short-term movement like November-December we’ve seen them come off the most compared to the late-January/early-March time frame,” she said.
Harakal said she’s seen strong price increases over the last two weeks, thanks to good demand. However, as of Wednesday, those prices have retreated a little.
