European Feed Peas Mixed

VANCOUVER - Dec 12/08 -SNS -- European feed pea markets ended the week's trading on a mixed note as strength in the Euro and pound sterling offset declines in local trading values.

The factors influencing feed peas remain the same as those impacting its major competitors -- corn, soybean meal, tapioca meal, and other ingredients

Alaron Trading Corporation's Tim Hannagan put it into focus, saying, "The fundamentals remain nearly non-existent as we are in the dead of winter.
