Friday Recap
Last day brought a flurry of activity (see trades below) in the feed market, particularly in oats, wheat, durum, and barley. Yellow flax continues to draw buyer interest, but most demand now appears to be shifting into the first quarter of 2026, compared to the strong movement we’ve seen over the last two months. If you’re looking to market feed grains or specialty crops, connect with your trusted Johnstons Grain broker, we have markets.
