MELFORT, Sask. — A deferred delivery contract locks in the price for a certain quantity of a base grade of grain to be delivered to a certain location at some date in the future.

Alice McFarlane is the Agriculture Information Director for 105 CJVR and Saskatchewan’s BeachRadioSK.ca in Melfort, Sask.

Tune in to Ag Access weekdays during the noon hour on 105 CJVR.
