It is my understanding that some packers have bought all they will need for a few months and do not plan to by syrup untill that supply is some what depleted, and then at a reduced price.

What's the word on the street for bulk prices the rest of the year? I checked with Bascom's and they're currently selling DA for $3.15 and B for $3.05. They're buying B for about $2.60 and DA $2.70. I'm guessing on the buying prices as I didn't write them down, but it's about that.

Josh it would be to your benifit if you could buy from a producer and pay him a bit more then the dealers are paying and less then you would have to buy it from them. Only problem is you have to taste test a bit to find something that you don't mind putting your name behind also.
