4-H SHOW & SALES
We’re incredibly excited to be attending several local 4-H shows and sales today, including the Rockyford 4-H Club and the Turin 4-H Club. Supporting the next generation of farmers and our clients’ most prized barn animals (their kids!) is something we’re truly passionate about.
It’s inspiring to see these young people getting their hands dirty, taking on an incredible amount of responsibility, and learning the values of hard work, dedication, and agriculture the same way their parents and grandparents did before them. The future of farming is bright, and we’re proud to support these outstanding youth as they showcase the results of their hard work and commitment.

Logistics Update
Spring Rush should be starting to wind down in the next week, shippers should see currently congested lanes start to open up in the coming weeks. Tight capacity combined with yo-yo’ing fuel prices is expected to keep rates high for the first part of June until capacity increases. Shippers are recommended to book out loads as far in advance as possible to allow carriers the ability to put together solid backhaul options.
We are currently looking for carriers to move Eastern MB to SK loads, as well as local loads in the Yorkton area. If you are interested please reach out!
We have trucks in the below areas next week, please reach out if you have anything moving!
| Equipment | Location | Looking to Get To |
| SuperB Hopper | Vancouver, BC | AB, SK |
| SuperB Hopper | AB | SK, MB |
| SuperB Deck | Saskatoon, SK, Regina, SK | Anywhere |
Due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East and the associated rise in fuel prices, expect rate increases across the board on all transportation both inland and ocean. Depending on vessel access to the Strait of Hormuz, it is likely that we see additional tightness on container equipment in the near future as well with longer transit times.
If you have bulk, dry van, deck or container freight to move, please reach out to logistics@johnstonsgrain.com for a competitive quote!
