Chicago futures may slip if U.S. growers are able to plant


By
By far the biggest factor for canola bids this past week was the weather. Persistent dry conditions throughout much of Western Canada have continued to provide a weather premium for canola, which helped to spur a 10-day rally that ended June 6. Starting May 24, the July ICE contract gained $12.90 per tonne to reach

On the good news side of things, the weather models were pretty accurate with last week’s forecast. The western low developed as forecast and followed the predicted northerly track over the weekend.

Will a cooler summer follow a cooler spring?

True, the almanacs predicted a colder-than-average spring, but also a wetter spring

By
After a colder-than-average winter across the Prairies that saw mean winter temperatures between 1.5 and 2.5 C below the long-term average, most of us were hoping spring would turn out a little better. Unfortunately, it didn’t; while our spring may have been a wee bit better than our winter, it wasn’t by much. While the

Forage forecast gets some good news

Forage got a needed boost in the last week of May, especially in areas that got rain before the temperatures rose

By
The province got some of its first forage-friendly growing days in the last week of May, but it still may not be enough. This spring was another hard start for hay growers. Cold temperatures and lack of rainfall delayed alfalfa and pasture regrowth, leading the province’s forage experts to put out warnings against premature turnout.

Forecast: Warmer, with a chance of showers

Issued June 3, 2019: Covering the period from June 5 to 12

By
Last week’s forecast played out fairly close to what the weather models were predicting with one major exception. The area of low pressure that tracked southeastward through our region last Friday didn’t bring much in the way of clouds or showers, but it did open the door for a very unseasonably cold air mass to

I know in the May 23 issue I said we would take a break from our annual look at severe weather and take a look back at the spring of 2019, then see what the latest long-range forecasts say. It appears I was a little ahead of myself as there are still five days left

Issued May 27, 2019: Covering the period from May 29 to June 5

By
The weather models now consistently show a break in our weather pattern with a more seasonable pattern developing.

We begin this forecast period with a broad ridge of high pressure
