But e low retumn on the yield mekes it unlikely that meny would want to, said Peter Lambrick, vice president of tbe Halton Federation of Agricultural. "We didn't actually end up doing any and I don't know of anyone that did," seid the Homnby fermier. "I Ibink if peo- ple were going to do it, tbey would have donc it by now." For the second year in a row, belmy temperatures have brougbt the crops in early. But the bottom line doesn't look hîgb enougb to encourage fermers to give it anotber go Ibis season, seid Mr. Lambrick. "I couldn't pencil it in that I'd get aretum." The main determinent is market price, and thet just isn't high enough, said Mr. Lambrick. 'The price of soybeen is die pits anyway," he said. 'There's ton much of it on the market." Soybeans are now $6 e Prices are down because things are looking up. Relatively stable times and gond weather throughout the world have fiooded the merket witb grains, said Mr. Lambrick. "If tbe whole world hes e reasoneble production and tee- sontable weether, we've got enough to feed ie workcL" This year, production in Australie, Canada, the United States and South Amnerica hes been tremendous, said Mr. Lmnbrick. *'On a world-wide besis, we're looking et a lot lower pruces for ai the grain." On the home front, belmy weether bas pusbed the crops harvests far ahead. Normelly, wbeet is brought in about July 20. But Ibis year, Mr. Lambsick was in the com- bine by July 8. "This is a situation thet doesn't prescrnt itself too often," he said. ITha's pushing die season two weeks abeïad." the~In.
