THERE’S A
GUARANTEED
MARKET FOR
BUCKWHEAT!
Looking for an alternate to typical
grains as a cash crop?
Buckwheat could be your
answer!
Unlike other small grain crops that
require increasingly costly inputs
and are subject to unstable prices
depending on crop size, gov’t,
programs and fluctuating export
markets buckwheat can be grown
under contract to us with both
the price and the market
guaranteed before you plant.
Consequently more and more
growers in this area are including
substantial buckwheat acreage in
their planting schedule.
There are definite advantages:
0 Guaranteed Market
0 Guaranteed Price
0 Growing Buckwheat
offers savings in labor,
fuel and other inputs
since it requires little
or no fertilizer, no
herbicides or insecti
des, it improves the
soil and can be planted
up to July 10.
* We guarantee to buy the crop this Fall
from our Contract Growers.
But you need a Contract.
Don’t delay. Contact us right
away before acreage
requirements for
this year are filled.
