We wish all GEC clients and customers a prosperous 2012. As we reflect on the past year, we remain optimistic about the future. Even with the weather related challenges experienced last fall, most producers managed to harvest the majority of their cereal and oilseed crops. While yields were average to slightly below average, prices were stronger than we have seen in some time.
A review of 2011 GEC activities is attached. We hope as well, that the grain/oilseed analysis and 2012 situation and outlook included for PEI crops is of value as customers finalize their planting decisions for the coming year.
