Historic canola comparisons.

If you look at the Historic Daily Canola chart, it appears we're $69.80/t higher on the futures Nov 30th 2010, than we were Nov 30th 2007, just ahead of the big run up in 2008, where we peaked on Mar 3rd in the JULY.

What is stunning to me is the volume,nobody has been
talking about it,but it maybe record breaking?

I see this as one of the most important things that has
ever happened to us.

If you think we were volatile before-you aint seen
nothing yet.

Cotton, how does one judge where we're going? What's the comparison, what are the markers??? Seems there are few after reaching a certian level.

[boarderbloke]

I see what you mean about the volume, does that indicate less chance or no chance of a double dip?

Cotton, are the increase of values in the chart I made, all because of inflation, seeing that the CAN$ exchange was fairly close? How can we calculate how much was inflation?

Does anyone know where we can find actual graf charts of all grain prices and input costs over the last say 20 yrs. Including revenue, dollar value and production costs of fuel, fert,chem,seed?

I think this would be interesting to see where the long term history of farming has come/gone.

Not the neat graph you requested but Statistics Canada has a version of what you are requesting in their Cansim database.

This may not work but will try.
