By Dave Sims, GFM Network News August 30, 2018

Reuters — Canadian farmers seeded less canola and more wheat compared with last year, but they shifted their plans from earlier this spring to sow more land with canola.

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
