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 guaran
teed before you plant. Consequently more
and more growers in this area are including
substantial buckwheat acreage in their
planting schedule.
There are definite advantages:
Market
Price
Growing Buckwheat offers
savings in labor, fuel and other
inputs since it requires little
or no fertilizer, no herbicides
or insecticides, 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 fitted.
