Recommendations for a broker

[macdon02]

Can anyone recommend a good broker. I have been using Cargill's price protector contracts but this does not give me enough flexibility, any input is appreciated. Not interested in trading futures just options, as I am just getting into this I need someone that will help answer any questions I have. Thanks

I would highly recommend Frank Windsor of Scotia Mcleod in Calgary. His knowledge of the former winnipeg market is very good. His number is 403- 213- 7351.

I have some ideas of which ones seem to be more interested in dealing with farmers.

But, I'd like to hear other producer's ideas of who has been good to work with.

I've always felt I'd be more comfortable dealing with them if they were called richers....
