yield 50 to 60% of green weight.
Does your final process price compare to the income you
could receive at the auction NOW? You must consider the
time value of money received today versus money received in
the future.
The auction warehouses will remain in operation to assist you
in receiving THE BEST FINAL PRICE for your crop.
