Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I just received my produce report from the packing house I deliver to. WOOHHHA! vegetables are bringing big $$$$$$$ this year if you are fortunate to have a crop to bring in. Take a look at Beets, pickling cukes and green beans. WOW! I sure hope these prices hold next year too!...... On the down side I have a feeling that these prices will be reflected in the grocery stores as well.
