We are now down to around 300k MT of ending stocks of barley in Canada. That is the equivalent amount of barley to feed 130,000 fat cattle. Not much room for error this harvest season.

This looks like Ayn Rand’s “Atlas Shrugged” played out in real time folks. Farmers, ranchers, farmland holders, we need to make sure we are part of this equation. Farmland is sequestering the carbon the government is so intent on taxing. Let’s get in the game ag industry!
