That might be good as I know of one honey producer that was happy to sell
600 drums of Sage-Wild Buckwheat honey to a co-op early this month for
$00.52 cutting the price they were paying by over .05 cents. Sure can't
make a case of honey producers cutting anything but each other throats.

I don't believe that at all as most honey packers seem to hate each other
and would never get together long enough to fix any thing.
