    Sorry my concern is not Northwestern Ontario but what happens on our prairies with regard to agriculture. Most of our wheat producing areas are definitely not 4a/4b hardiness Saskatchewan - Veseys . More like 3s and 2s if it is the same hardiness ratings you guys use. The only place I cab find that would be considered 4a would possibly be southern Alberta in the Lethbridge area Canadian Prairies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. I think considering the amount of snow this year out west, how it may melt and how much rain falls it may be a late planting year. It maybe one of those years you just can get the equipment on the fields early to actually get stuff in the ground. Then again I ain't no farmer.

    And this is why I do most of my shopping at the farmers market. In that respect I think I'm spoiled by my location.

    I would like to see that same type of chart for beer though. I kinda drink a little of everything.

    It was my understanding that the profit margins were small... But I've recently stated to buy in bulk from Amazon. They're selling at the same price as brick and mortar stores and delivering it FREE to your door. How?? Can that be!
