EU rapeseed in good shape despite early problems

Despite repeated frosts in Germany, production still seen above last year

By Reuters May 30, 2017

Rapeseed crops in the European Union’s largest producers are in reasonable condition despite the double blows of drought and late-spring frosts, experts said May 18. A question mark remains over crops in the third-largest producer, Poland, where frosts in early May hit rapeseed at a vulnerable time as hundreds of thousands of hectares of yellow

Cinderella crop is the child of immigration

Early Polish settlers were the first to grow rapeseed, near Shellbrook, Sask.,  spawning the multibillion-dollar industry of today

By Laura Rance-Unger April 10, 2017

Much of the attention focused on newcomers to Canada these days is laced with fear that they will bring change. What is often overlooked however, is that change can bring good things to a country — including economic growth. Canada’s canola story — a stunning success by any measure — is a case in point.

EU still on track for bigger rapeseed crop

Growing conditions have caused some concern but the impact seems limited so far

By Reuters March 3, 2017

Rapeseed in the EU’s major growing countries was mostly in reasonable shape, despite localized damage caused by dry sowing conditions and winter frosts. This keeps the EU on course for a rebound from last year’s disappointing harvest. Analysts Strategie Grains recently cut their forecast for EU 2017 rapeseed production by 500,000 tonnes to 21.56 million,

Consider selling new-crop canola soon — more than usual

Thomas Mielke of Oil World warns a jump in palm oil production will push world canola prices down later  and canola prices could decline by early this spring in anticipation

By Allan Dawson January 31, 2017

Canadian canola growers should consider selling new-crop canola soon and perhaps more than they would normally this early, says Thomas Mielke, executive director of Oil World, a German-based publication covering world vegetable oil and meal markets since 1958. “We all know these high prices (of around $500 a tonne on the Winnipeg futures market) cannot

Canola Discovery Forum focuses on short-, long-term research

It gets new agronomic information to farmers faster and exposes  researchers to the questions farmers want answered

By Allan Dawson November 7, 2016

Canola growers can cut their seeding rates under good seeding conditions, but they might have to re-evaluate insect thresholds and weed control timing. That was just one of the many pieces of information to come from the Canola Discovery Forum held in Winnipeg Oct. 25 to 27. “The evidence is starting to show we can
