PRINCE ALBERT -- Prince Albert area farmer Ken Blocka is close to two months behind schedule for grain hauling. “We are holding onto a lot of crop from last year that we can’t move. And even with depressed prices we can’t move it so we are looking at moving it possibly when we are seeding and it’s just not a good combination.” Blocka, who has been farming for 37 years, said farmers typically haul grain in the winter and spend early spring doing maintenance on machinery for spring seeding.
