By Ashley Robinson - MarketsFarm, GFM Network News May 8, 2018

CNS Canada — While Statistics Canada is predicting a drop in fababean acres this year, an agronomist with Saskatchewan Pulse Growers hopes that isn’t the case. “We had about 50,000 acres for the last three years here in Saskatchewan. And we’re thinking that we’ll be maybe slightly below that,” said SPG agronomy manager Sherrilyn Phelps.

Feed weekly outlook: For barley acres, seeding delays will tell tale

By Ashley Robinson - MarketsFarm, GFM Network News May 4, 2018

CNS Canada — After a slight delay to the start of seeding in southern Alberta, producers are out in the fields and it doesn’t yet look like they have seeded more shorter-season acres, such as in feed barley. “Southern Alberta is a little bit later than normal (for starting seeding). But most areas, they’re kind

ICE weekly outlook: Canola ‘stuck in neutral’

By GFM Network News, Phil Franz-Warkentin May 2, 2018

CNS Canada — ICE Futures Canada canola contracts are lacking any clear direction at the beginning of May, and may stay rangebound through the seeding period. “Canola is stuck in neutral,” said Wayne Palmer, senior market analyst with Agri-Trend Marketing. “We’re at that stage where it’s rangebound, waiting for news, and watching the weather across

CNS Canada — Disruptions in marketing to India may have cut into prices for peas and lentils over the past year, but farmers in Saskatchewan did not shift their pulse acreage intentions for 2018 all that much according to the results of Statistics Canada’s latest survey, released Friday.

Grain trade skeptical of StatsCan’s acreage outlook

By Ashley Robinson - MarketsFarm, GFM Network News April 27, 2018

CNS Canada — After predictions of record canola area and a drop in pulse acres, traders and analysts are doubtful of Statistics Canada’s predictions for smaller canola acres, much larger wheat acres and only minor reductions in pulse acres. “It’s unusual for everybody to just be this out of whack on this report,” said Ken

StatsCan estimates and labour issues at CP loom large

By Phil Franz-Warkentin April 26, 2018

ICE Futures Canada canola contracts posted solid gains over the week ended April 20, correcting off of nearby lows despite a softer tone in Chicago soybeans and soyoil. Weakness in the Canadian dollar, which lost about a cent relative to its U.S. counterpart, accounted for some of the strength in the futures. However, crush margins

Extended winter could lead to more Prairie oat acres

By Ashley Robinson - MarketsFarm, GFM Network News April 13, 2018

CNS Canada — With winter still hanging on across Western Canada, one buyer thinks it could lead to an uptick in oat acres. “Later seeding generally increases oat acres.

CNS Canada — Canada’s grains industry found itself shocked when the Canadian Oilseed Processors Association (COPA) announced Friday it would stop publishing its weekly report on member crushings. “I loved that report. In Western Canada, or Canada in general, I think any reports that give you kind of a weekly snapshot of what’s happening in
