I attended a canola crop industry meeting today and was surprised by their response on potential acres for next year. I always like to ask people at the meetings I do the following question.
If today were April 15 and prices were similar to current values, what would you seed this spring? Assuming central Alberta (I am rounding so don't get too upset if not exact). That is, canola $7.50 to $7.75/bu, feed barley $3 to $3.25/bu, 2 row malt barley - $3.50 to $3.75, CPS wheat - $4/bu (non board), higher protein spring $4.50/bu, milling/pony oats $2.50 to $3/bu, etc. What if it stays as dry as it is now.
