Who is your marketing target?

I grow a little seed for the organic
market in a couple of crops that are usually short seed and I've been dabbling
in the California market with pulse crops.
Canola gets sold to the highest bidder and
we will wait and see with wheat. Widely
traded crops I hedge on the markets so I'm
not stuck with a contract to any specific
company. Amazing how much better your
grading gets if you're selling cash.

Whomever pays us the most and cheats us
the least!

I have had discussions with companies in
Saskatoon. There is shelf space for cleaned and
packaged products in the ethnic stores. Peas
lentils, fresh grown herbs and spices. I am
collecting thoughts and information on how to
pursue this. It definitely requires investment into
proper cleaners with magnets and destoners.
Then some nice packaging. There will be freight
and logistics involved. I like thinking about these
ideas, it would definitely get the farmer closer to
consumer, and presumably higher value to the
farm.
