Isn’t the rapid devaluation of currency the same as inflation?

Some days I think graincos make more money off Canadian grain, from the currency exchange, than they do from elevation, storage, cleaning and handling charges.

You are so right. Many days currency fluctuations and associated hedging profits are kept entirely by the graincos.

True, but domestic economic crisis that has been created in-part by currency collapse and runaway interest rates.

This crisis hasn't impacted global wheat values to my knowledge. Correct me where I'm wrong, but internal implosion now occuring in Argentina which will lead to hardships.

You have overslept. Back in 2012 it would cost you $14 to get a bushel of canola and today you can get it for under $11. In 2012 that bushel also cost $14 USD and today only $8.25 US. Gotta be paying attention.
