Forecast, flea beetles complicate canola timing

Dry conditions make ideal seeding time difficult to peg

By Alexis Stockford, GFM Network News May 15, 2021

Drought conditions, and the odds of more to come, have some Prairie canola growers pondering when to roll the dice on seeding, if they want to do more than feed the flea beetles. Small-seeded crops, such as canola, have garnered particular concern from agronomists and producers worried about germination, given power dry topsoil across much

Editor’s Take: Rain and high prices

By Gord Gilmour May 13, 2021

A now-retired farmer friend says he defines a happy coincidence as when high prices and a big crop happen at the same time.

By Allan Dawson May 13, 2021

As of last week farmers could lock in $16 to $17 a bushel new-crop canola, but the spectre of drought may discourage some from pre-selling as much as they would if it wasn’t so dry. It’s hard not to take advantage of such strong prices. And while there’s no guarantee, odds are they will likely
