Fortunes have shifted in Northwest agriculture
News Journal
Fortunes have shifted in Northwest agricultural markets. Nursery producers are wrapping up sales that will make 2014 one of the industry’s most profitable years since the downturn began in 2008. Beef and cattle prices continue to post new highs, while Northwest dairies benefit from near-record milk prices. Strong prices in the protein sector are met with lower feed costs, resulting in exceptional profitability for many producers.

Grain supply to clash with rail demand this fall
