Well, Manitoba must be special, because that is the latest offering to
Alberta and Saskatchewan for <25mm from one of Canada's biggest packers.
The others will quickly follow suit if they can.  I had hoped that no one
would bite in this "How low can we go" game and CANNOT confirm that anyone
truly has.  A pile of honey left beekeepers warehouses over the last 6 weeks
at $.75 Can (including a good chunk out of MB), so why not line the
packers/brokers pockets a little more.  Guys who before Christmas wouldn't
move "a" load for $.95, suddenly felt compelled to sell almost two years 
worth
of crop twenty cents cheaper.  Just when I thought that stampede was over,
out came this latest offer, so am left to assume that the 75 cent supply
must still be pretty strong.
