            This the issue i have been talking about. Demand is poor and Canadian product is deemed as poor quality so alot of red lentil demand shifted to Australia which is stilling selling harvested product from Dec 2016. AGT does have assets in Australia but still tough market with low margins on commodity side. Previous years profits where higher. Last 12 months has been very tough.

            If a company makes alot of money they are screwing the farmer. If they don't have high profits they are hiding it. Yeesh
