Canola crush processing near capacity
That limits their ability to offset lost seed sales to China by processing more
Don’t look to Canada’s canola crushers for relief from the Chinese canola seed bans.

Poor rail service hitting canola crushers too
Some plants have had to shut down for a couple of days because trains have been delayed
