The deadline for new applications for AGR-Lite is not until March 15^th.

February 1^st is the final date to obtain coverage for 2011 spring planted onions in the Pacific Northwest.

Now this from Stockland Livestock;

“Good morning from Stockland Livestock here in Davenport. Six hundred cattle on this market last week. Good strong sale for the weigh cows and bulls. Sold those a couple of dollars higher. Feeder cattle, most of the run was feeder cattle and were steady to strong. Plenty of demand for the lightweight type steers and heifers and the heavier feeder cattle steady. Big special on the 7^th. Until then we will sell cattle every Monday. Always feature our stockers and feeders at a special time. We will have some real nice replacement heifers at our 7^th sale. Thanks for listening. Stockland Livestock in Davenport.

Thanks Jack McQuinness.
