    Sitting here in Yakima WA wondering what the hell happened to the onions this year. Seems like I haven't seen much onion volume coming out of the area this year or their just not hitting ITS. You guys notice any difference?

    There's a shortage of volume in every commodity right now it seems.

    Farmers may have turned to another alternative crop for a better return is always a possibility, failing that a bad season can also effect the supply, it won't bode well for those making soup. You may have to resort to hauling hay for an alternative. :cool:

    I hauled hay out of Kansas once to get home. Wasn't a bad load but I was sweating everytime I thought about 1 careless cigarette.
