REGINA, Feb. 25, 2015 /CNW/ - Input Capital Corp. ("Input" or the "Company") (INP.V) (INPCF) is pleased to announce that it has begun a study into streaming soybeans with Canadian farmers.
"We have been getting feedback from farmers in Manitoba and Ontario that they see potential value in streaming contracts for soybeans, and they have encouraged us to look at this market," said President & CEO Doug Emsley. "Our plan is to be consistent with our approach to new ideas: first, we'll educate ourselves on the soybean market, and if we agree with farmers that there is an opportunity for soybean streaming, we'll start with a limited number of small contracts as a pilot test. If those go well, we'll make soybean streaming into a standard offering along with our existing canola contracts."
Emsley continued, "Input has proven the canola streaming model and its applicability for Canadian farmers. Soybeans appear to be a natural extension of Input's canola streaming model, and streaming soybeans offers the possibility to spread our wings into more markets in Canada, and potentially beyond, in the years to come."
