Producers have a stop loss at 87 12 cents, and higher prices would require holding grain at risk of lower returns. The controversy over setting the minimum price continues across Western Canada, with notices of meetings and protests among provincial representatives and farmers. A sale notice for horses, cattle and implements near Lavenham is also listed for September 16.
