Bearish factors outweigh bullish news in canola

Reduced promotional funding may weigh on canola in future

By Phil Franz-Warkentin February 2, 2018

Canola contracts on the ICE Futures Canada platform held within a rather narrow range during the week ended Jan. 26, lacking any real clear direction as conflicting outside forces kept the oilseed trading sideways.

Editorial: Divided we fall

By Gord Gilmour January 25, 2018

A metaphorical bombshell exploded this week over the corner of Portage and Main, the historic heart of Canada’s grain trade. Richardson International, Winnipeg’s largest homegrown grain trader, is pulling its financial support out of the Canola Council of Canada, Soy Canada and the Flax Council of Canada. As a result, the flax council has already

Chuck Fossay knew Richardson International was threatening to leave the Canola Council of Canada, but he never expected it to happen. “I was actually surprised it pulled the plug,” the president of the Manitoba Canola Growers Association said in an interview Jan. 18. “We knew that Richardson had concerns.

By Manitoba Co-operator Staff January 15, 2018

Turns out your canola plants just need to get a little rest. When high temperatures, especially at night, prevent them from “sleeping” properly productivity takes a hit, and now researchers from Kansas State University are trying to figure out why.

Bitterly cold temperatures across much of Western Canada and the resulting slowdown in country movement were also supportive, although the latest grain-handling numbers still show ample

To answer that question you’ll need a good handle on factors around the world affecting the oilseed complex

By David Derwin January 10, 2018

A question I get asked a lot is, “Where are canola prices going?” That’s not something you can answer just by looking out your back door, throughout your province, or even across the Prairies. You really have to look around the world at all oilseed markets to get a better sense of where our canola
