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

India has restricted yellow pea imports until the end of June, according to an official statement from the Indian government.

Pulse weekly outlook: Prairie lentils look for spark

By Dave Sims, GFM Network News April 24, 2018

CNS Canada — It’s not exactly a banner time for the lentil market. Prices have been steady to slightly lower over the past month as lacklustre interest and Indian tariffs on peas and chickpeas have largely dissuaded farmers from planting pulses in general. “I think the impact and extension of the impact of the Indian

Trade predicts fewer pulse acres, another canola record

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

Pulse weekly outlook: Monsoon outlook bearish for Canadian crop

By Ashley Robinson - MarketsFarm, GFM Network News April 18, 2018

CNS Canada — India is forecasting an average monsoon rainfall this year, making the chance of India importing Canadian pulse crops slim. “Given the tariff scheme and the protectionist attitudes India has displayed this year, I think it will take a major weather influence to hurry up the correction to (imports),” said Marlene Boersch, managing

Can Manitoba support 300,000 acres of field peas?

Right now there are headwinds but looming local processing capacity bodes well for the crop

By Alexis Stockford April 10, 2018

Could Manitoba see 300,000 acres of peas a year? That was the self-admittedly provocative question Manitoba Agriculture pulse extension Terry Buss raised at a March 20 pea producers’ meeting in Brandon. Hitting that mark would mean an acreage five times larger than this coming season’s projected acreage, which has been pegged at 65,000 acres, up

Pulse weekly outlook: Low prices change growers’ marketing tack

By Ashley Robinson - MarketsFarm, GFM Network News April 10, 2018

CNS Canada — After years of western Canadian farmers rushing to lock in pulse crop contracts during the spring, this year that hasn’t been the case. “Normally I would say that I’d have my plant booked to December and I don’t have a single thing booked this year. But does that mean we’re not going

Pulse weekly outlook: China/U.S. dispute could open window for peas

By Dave Sims, GFM Network News April 6, 2018

CNS Canada — As trade tariffs between China and the U.S. mount, so too does the potential for other countries to swoop in and plug the gap in whatever market may need filling. While U.S. soybeans are the most significant of the crops included so far in the tit-for-tat battle of proposed tariffs, it seems

The crops produced on Prairie farms don’t need processing to be eaten

By Getty Stewart April 4, 2018

Isn’t it ironic that we live in the Grain Belt of Canada and produce some of the world’s finest grains, but we rarely eat those grains until they’re processed? For the longest time, I didn’t even know you could cook raw wheat kernels just as they are. The only thing I ever ate out of

Western farmers want rail headaches fixed for the future

Presentations to Commons agriculture committee all noted the need for a long-lasting fix to this problem

It’s too close to spring and planting time for a special order to the railways to move more grain to achieve much, Prairie farmers have told the Commons agriculture committee. Rural roads will soon be impassable for grain trucks and farmers will be focused on planting this year’s crop rather than hauling grain to terminals,
