Less canola, more barley area expected in next StatsCan report

By GFM Network News June 24, 2019

MarketsFarm — Canadian farmers will likely grow less canola and more barley in 2019, though the jury is out on exact acreage numbers ahead of Statistics Canada’s seeded area estimates due out Wednesday. Barley prices have hit “historic highs” thanks to inclement corn-growing weather in the United States, which has buoyed most feed grain prices.

By GFM Network News, Rod Nickel April 24, 2019

Winnipeg | Reuters — Canadian farmers intend to plant seven per cent fewer acres of canola this spring compared with a year earlier, even less than expected by analysts and traders, as a dispute with China hampers demand, a government report showed on Wednesday. China and Canada are locked in a diplomatic and trade dispute

Tighter StatsCan canola crop won’t affect market, analysts say

By GFM Network News, Glen Hallick - MarketsFarm December 6, 2018

CNS Canada — Canada’s canola production has been revised lower in the latest data from Statistics Canada’s Production of Principal Field Crops report, issued Thursday. However, two observers agree the final numbers won’t have much effect on markets. “It’s not a report that’s going to allow canola to trade tremendously strong. It might trade a

December StatsCan report could vary from years past

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

CNS Canada — After this fall’s long, drawn-out harvest, some analysts predict Statistics Canada’s final Production of Principal Field Crops numbers could vary from the usual pattern. StatsCan’s report, due out Thursday, is a “very uncertain” report “because that was probably one of the most bizarre falls we’ve ever had on the Prairies,” said Ken

Trends stand out in StatsCan crop data: report

By GFM Network News, Phil Franz-Warkentin November 13, 2018

CNS Canada — Second-guessing Statistics Canada’s crop information may be a time-honoured tradition across the Prairies, but there are trends in the data that stand out, according to a recent report from the government agency. Looking at data over the past decade, total seeded canola acres were revised higher in the June survey compared to

Canola, wheat crop size hiked in StatsCan’s view from space

By Dave Sims, GFM Network News September 19, 2018

CNS Canada — Statistics Canada raised its production estimates for most crops across Western Canada in its latest report released Wednesday.

Smaller Manitoba soybean crop expected

By GFM Network News, Phil Franz-Warkentin September 11, 2018

CNS Canada — Like most crops grown this year, Manitoba’s soybean yields were also highly variable in 2018. While early reports point to smaller production overall, lower-than-average yields won’t translate to higher prices, given prospects for a large U.S. crop. Manitoba soybean yields are “anywhere from 20 to 50” bushels per acre, said Mark Jorgenson
