Yesterday was our Annual Customer Appreciation Day.

We would like to take this opportunity to pass out some thanks.

To our sponsors we want to thank you for helping us to put on this special day.

To the exhibitors we thank you for coming out and giving our customers an added benefit for coming. 

To the agronomists we thank you for speaking about relevant crop issues at this time.

To the other speakers we thank you for talking to us about information that is important to our farmers.  This includes Scott Hansen from White Commercial and Lloyd Crowe from the Grain Farmers of Ontario. 

To the 4H and Junior Farmers that came up on the stage to sing O’Canada, we thank you for showing pride in this great country.

Most important we thank our customers, neighbours and friends who came out to share their time with us.  Without you this event could not happen and we thank you all again. 

Yesterday was another negative day for our markets.  Harvest corn closed down 6 1/2, harvest soybeans closed down 18 1/2, harvest winter wheat closed down 7 1/2 and harvest spring wheat closed down 13 1/4.  In the overnight trade all of our markets have bounced back to the positive side.  Oil closed up $0.55 yesterday at $64.92 per barrel.  It is stronger in trading again this morning with it now valued at $65.06 per barrel.  Our dollar had a low yesterday morning before noon of $0.727 US and has trended higher since then.  This morning it is currently valued at $0.731 US.

Complete market blog will return on Friday.
