Weather to make grain prices high, growing conditions dry

Acreage estimates from StatCan were bearish for canola values

June has ended and many have looked up at fireworks lighting up the night sky, celebrating holidays on both sides of the Canada/U.S. border. However, canola growers, traders and analysts will either be looking at the sky for clouds or down at weather maps. After rallying throughout the first half of June to its highest

On the ropes against kochia

Growers face a formidable foe. Fast mutations and efficient seed spread are a tough one-two combination

By Gord Leathers July 6, 2023

Kill it with fire. That was the gist in 2018, after a photo of post-spray kochia in Saskatchewan made the rounds on social media. The image showed a swath of dead, brown plants. That made the single, green plant right in the centre stand out even more. There was a collective recoil from farmers in

MarketsFarm — Canola came out of Canada Day continuing to build on gains made going into the holiday, largely due to spillover from the Chicago soy complex. The U.S. Department of Agriculture last Friday released its planted acres report, which saw soybeans lose four million acres from the 87.5 million planted in 2022, leading to

Overview Crop development has been rapid. Rainfall amounts varied with storms moving through the Western and Central regions bringing heavy rain and hail in isolated areas. Fungicide application in spring wheat for fusarium head blight continues as conditions and staging allows. Canola fungicide application has also started as fields reach the correct stage for application.

New-crop canola is above $700 but it’s hitting resistance

After trending higher for all of June, the ICE Futures canola market finally ran into resistance as the calendar officially switched to summer. Weather was at the forefront of all the North American agricultural markets, closely followed by a much-anticipated biofuel announcement from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. From a chart standpoint, the new-crop November

Canadian canola, wheat area up on the year: StatCan

More soybean, corn acres also estimated

By GFM Network News, Phil Franz-Warkentin June 28, 2023

MarketsFarm — Canadian farmers planted more canola than earlier intentions, according to updated acreage estimates from Statistics Canada released Wednesday. Meanwhile, wheat plantings hit their highest level in more than two decades. Total canola plantings were estimated at 22.1 million acres by the government agency, which compares with the 21.6 million expected in April and

Genes are not Lego blocks. An individual gene can control multiple aspects of an organism’s development and its response to different environmental conditions. Gene editing is therefore likely to change more than just one trait.

Gene-edited seed now stands on largely the same footing as traditionally bred plants in Canada, and there are problems with that

By Cathy Holtslander June 28, 2023

Even though they have no history of safe use in Canada or elsewhere, Agriculture Minister (Marie-Claude) Bibeau announced on May 3 that Canada will exempt gene-edited plants from the regulations faced by genetically modified crops and mandatory public notification unless they contain foreign DNA or if they are herbicide tolerant. For all other changes in

Strike early when fighting kochia in canola

Kochia has few means of control, so know the options

By Jeff Melchior June 28, 2023

Glacier FarmMedia – Kochia is one of the fastest-spreading and most resistant weeds common in canola. The key is to control it before it sets seed, experts say, and that means striking when it’s small. Herbicide resistant kochia has been a management headache for growers across the Prairies. Pre-seed burnoff is the first tool in

Clubroot ‘race profiling’ can help boost resistance in canola

Research team sets stage for next generation of canola resistance

Glacier FarmMedia – Racial profiling isn’t a term most people would want to be associated with. When it’s a disease like clubroot, however, it’s different. In the fight against the yield-stealing, soil-borne scourge of canola and other brassica plants, racial profiling is the ability to select varieties that resist not only clubroot in general, but
