By GFM Network News, Rajendra Jadhav November 8, 2017

New Delhi | Reuters – India has doubled its import tax on wheat to 20 per cent, according to a government order made on Wednesday, as the world’s second biggest producer tries to rein in imports to support local prices.

Winter cereal acres down but looking good

A dry fall caused Prairie producers to hesitate before pulling out the seeding rig

By Ashley Robinson - MarketsFarm November 6, 2017

Following concerns in September about seeding winter cereals in dry conditions, acres are down but crops seeded in Western Canada are doing good heading into the winter. “Very little moisture is required in the fall to get that seed to germinate and start growing, especially if it’s been seeded shallow,” said Amanda Swanson, a southern

Humans appear to have influenced crop plants far earlier  than previously understood

By Manitoba Co-operator Staff November 6, 2017

It turns out the roots for farming run deeper than previously thought — about 10,000 years deeper to be precise. New research from the U.K.’s University of Warwick has shown ancient hunter-gatherers began to systemically affect the evolution of crops as far back as 30,000 years ago. Professor Robin Allaby has discovered that human crop

Winter wheat planting lags in U.S.

The big question is if it’s weather related or a sign of shifting grower intentions

By Karen Braun October 30, 2017

There’s little doubt the planting of the 2018-19 U.S. winter wheat crop is off to what could be the slowest start in history. But the most jarring fact is that the lag appears to be at its worst in the top-producing state, Kansas, which brings the intended acreage — and thus production potential — under

Grading system needed to ensure proper compensation

By Allan Dawson October 23, 2017

Canada’s wheat grading system is essential so farmers get fairly compensated by grain buyers, says Stewart Wells. Without it grain companies can pay farmers different prices for the same quality of wheat. “It’s about transparency and farmers being paid properly and fairly for what they do,” Wells said in an interview Oct. 11. “If there
