Prices
The base prices for grains crops are established on the basis of January price forecasts provided by the Market Analysis Group of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada. Pedigreed, forage and organic crops have their own price structure to reflect the value of these crops. Alternative sources are used to determine prices for some smaller acreage crops. These prices represent the expected farm gate market price per tonne for the coming crop year.
Imperial prices are provided for reference only. # denotes price per pound.
