Slow start to U.S. corn planting may lead to tug of war with soy

Although technology allows farmers to plant faster than ever before, weather can still hinder progress

By Karen Braun May 2, 2017

By Gord Gilmour April 18, 2017

There’s little doubt that in recent years Manitoba farmers have been getting the crop in earlier and earlier. More tracked tractors, different seeder designs, management changes such as getting more work done in the fall and the ability to place more fertilizer at seeding time, has all added up, says Rejean Picard, a farm production

U.S. farmers plan to seed a record amount of soybean acreage this spring, even with supplies trending near all-time highs, the government said March 31.

Trade’s outlook for U.S. soybeans bearish on canola

Wheat stocks limit any upside from lower U.S. acres

By Jade Markus April 6, 2017

Speculation ahead of a much-anticipated dataset from the U.S. Department of Agriculture had ICE Futures Canada canola chopping around a wide range in the week ending March 31. USDA released its prospective plantings and grain stocks reports on March 31. The department’s seeding estimates often act as a major mover in markets, leaving values with
