Local Grain
Turmoil in the grain
market has made it
difficult for Lancaster
Farming staffers to
arrive at a truly
representative average
price for local grains.
Rather than publish a
price which reflected
the bids and offers of
only one or two dealers,
we decided that it would
be better to publish no
price, y/e recognize the
news value of local
grain prices, and by
next week we hope to
have the cooperation of
enough local millers and
feed dealers to again
make this feature a
regular part of our
market reports.
