Opinion: The Great Canadian Grain Robbery

If you can’t identify the problem then you can’t provide a solution

By Ken Sigurdson May 7, 2018

Allan Dawson, in the April 12 edition (Putting a price tag on the grain backlog), continues to defend a false narrative of ‘blame the railways.’ The information provided by Ken Larsen in his National Farmer’s Union op-ed on March 22 was confirmed by a highly respected journalist for the Western Producer, Brian Cross, who noted

Feed weekly outlook: For barley acres, seeding delays will tell tale

By Ashley Robinson - MarketsFarm, GFM Network News May 4, 2018

CNS Canada — After a slight delay to the start of seeding in southern Alberta, producers are out in the fields and it doesn’t yet look like they have seeded more shorter-season acres, such as in feed barley. “Southern Alberta is a little bit later than normal (for starting seeding).

Without independent audits there’s no way to tell what grain sells for

Allan Dawson’s response to my article about grain movement (Putting a price tag on the grain backlog, Manitoba Co-operator, April 12) was provocative. In it he contends the price and basis doesn’t reflect the issue and trucking prevents farmers from being captive sellers. While I agree that price is important, and with Prof. Richard Gray’s

Grain trade skeptical of StatsCan’s acreage outlook

By Ashley Robinson - MarketsFarm, GFM Network News April 27, 2018

CNS Canada — After predictions of record canola area and a drop in pulse acres, traders and analysts are doubtful of Statistics Canada’s predictions for smaller canola acres, much larger wheat acres and only minor reductions in pulse acres. “It’s unusual for everybody to just be this out of whack on this report,” said Ken

By GFM Network News, Jerry Klassen April 24, 2018

Compared to last week, western Canadian feeder cattle markets traded $4-$6 higher. Yearlings led the charge higher with quality packages selling $5 to as much as $8 above week-ago levels.

By Ashley Robinson - MarketsFarm, GFM Network News April 23, 2018

CNS Canada — With the uncertainty regarding the pulse exports to India, it’s looking like 2018 could see more canola acres planted in Canada. Statistics Canada will release its Principal Field Crop Areas report on Friday (April 27). Last year saw Canada’s canola area at a record 23 million acres, but this year could again

The latest releases from the Crop Development Centre at the U of S bring back something long gone from most wheat varieties

By Manitoba Co-operator Staff April 18, 2018

When most of us think of a wheat kernel, we think of the familiar smooth seed with an indentation on one side. But this is actually a relatively recent development, coinciding with the introduction of high-yielding bread and durum varieties that we’re all familiar with, roughly in the early 1900s. The earliest wheats were hulled,
