      Canary seed crops are not looking good but that probably won't matter for the price.

        The budgies go into the pot of soup when food prices soar.

          caseih....maybe they want to know how old?
          How many candles does it have on its birthday cake this fall?
          Is it rancid? Or "smell" old?
          Are any Canaries still alive that were hatched the same year it was grown?

          All important price discovery information!

              Here the canary crops are dismal. I've never seen a poorer stand in my life with this incessant drought. Despite that, I think canaryseed represented a good 40% of the special crops export business in our area during the 1980's and nineties. Now its importance is about 5%.

                I think there is a steady supply of canaryseed available compared to thirty years ago.....stored old crop(s) and the fact its more widely grown has provided the market with ample supplies. So the big price spikes of the past don't seem to happen. I also think canary seed prices have risen at least enough to keep people growing it. I thought 30 cents/lb used to be a hot price....so the mid to high twenties may be as good as it ever gets under the current S/U ratio. I think I remember canaryseed as low as nine cents...

                Sumdumguy...any comments?

                  Is there anywhere that posts the price the Mexicans actually pay?

                    There's alot of extra expenses and margins incurred before it makes it to the bird's beak!
