Analyst confident canola can weather anti-dumping storm
Glacier FarmMedia — Canada is well equipped to handle the latest canola dispute with China, says an analyst. For one thing, the industry has become far less export dependent the last couple of years, said Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftField Commodity Research. He is forecasting that crushers will process 11 to 12 million tonnes of

Biofuels drive canola demand
Canola Council of Canada aims for yield research to meet demand
The Canola Council of Canada is seeking ways to increase yields to meet the rising demand for biofuels. “Biofuels seem to be taking the front-and-centre space for the oilseed sector, at least in Western Canada,” said Curtis Rempel, vice-president of crop production and innovation. Why it matters: The canola industry represents 207,000 jobs, $12 billion in wages and nearly
Verticillium gains ground on blackleg, sclerotinia in Manitoba
Survey numbers sum up Manitoba’s top canola disease issues last year
Farmers preparing to seed canola might want to take a minute to visit the Canola Council of Canada’s website. The national group, drawing on data from the 2022 Manitoba Canola Disease Survey, has summed up the most significant disease threats growers faced last year. Posted through the council’s Canola Research Hub, the information also covers
Canola industry ready to move forward
The Canola Council of Canada celebrated a return to normalcy at its annual meeting at the Canadian Crops Convention in Ottawa. “Our theme this year is ‘from adversity to opportunity’ and I think that’s very fitting,” said Jim Everson, the group’s president. Production has rebounded following the drought of 2021, meaning there’s opportunity to develop
Farmers open to new 4R practices; concerned about risks
About half of western Canadian wheat and canola acres are already officially managed with 4R
Manitoba farmers say they are open to trying new 4R techniques and building upon current practices but have an eye on cost and risks. It’s important to be challenged by the question, “what more can we do to reduce our emissions… while running a farm properly?” said Dean Harder, who farms near Morris. During this
Canada can cut fertilizer emissions 14 per cent by 2030, industry groups say
Report touts use of 4R practices
Winnipeg | Reuters — Canadian farmers can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from applying nitrogen fertilizer by 14 per cent by 2030 through adoption of more sustainable farm practices and new technology, without any overall reduction in fertilizer use, agriculture industry groups said on Wednesday. Such reductions of nitrous oxide from 2020 levels would fall well
Cut canola later for higher yield
Canola Council launches campaign to persuade farmers of the benefits of patience
The Canola Council of Canada is encouraging farmers to hold off on harvesting canola to improve yield. Research in the early 2000s showed that canola swathed at 60-70 per cent seed colour change (SCC) yielded 11 per cent more than fields swathed at 30-40 per cent. That research was reinforced in 2013, when the Indian
Crowdsourcing canola counts
Results coming in from first year of the Canola Council of Canada’s ‘Canola Counts’ survey
Self-improvement is tricky without looking outward for perspective. A program launched last year by the Canola Council of Canada (CCC) aims to give canola growers that perspective on a massive scale. The CCC’s ‘Canola Counts’ survey is now into its second year and the data coming in is already providing good insights for agronomists, says
