By Glen Hallick - MarketsFarm November 19, 2021

As the fall run continues into November, it’s not just the number of cattle heading to auction that has been weighing on values — it’s also the high cost of feed, according to Brad Kehler, auctioneer and sales representative at Grunthal Auction Mart. “We’re still seeing downward pressure on both cows and feeder cattle across[...]

By Glen Hallick - MarketsFarm July 2, 2021

Benefits from early-June rains have turned to doubts

New-crop canola contracts that bottomed out at the daily limit of $30 per tonne on June 17 have since made a dramatic turnaround — not so much because of what else has been going on in the markets, but rather because of the weather.

Those shrinking old-crop supplies will continue to support canola and provide a good reason for prices to climb.

2019-20 crop year could have been worse for canola

By Glen Hallick - MarketsFarm August 13, 2020

Within days before the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued its latest supply-and-demand report, there was speculation of further reductions to ending stocks for soybeans, corn and wheat. Such bullish news would see U.S. prices rise and spill over into canola. On Jan. 12 USDA released its world agriculture supply-and-demand estimates (WASDE), which slashed soybean ending stocks[...]
