Weakness in the Canadian dollar, which lost about a cent relative to its U.S. counterpart, accounted for some of the strength in the futures. However, crush margins

Ron Davidson isn’t exactly sure what impact Chinese tariffs on imported American soybeans will have on Canada’s soybean market, but it’s unlikely to be good. “It just puts uncertainty into the market, and for Canada a lot of risk, because it’s next door and if they (U.S.) can’t send their soybeans abroad (to China) a place to
