Canola like Gold!

Bibo must be doing a great job, perhaps Canada Canola Council will nominate her to the the Ag hall of fame as they did for Jerry Ritz, the one who gutted our insurance programs?

Where is BOBOO any way we haven't heard anything from her since the great we know the Carbon tax costs farmers for grain drying but we won't present that report?


I for one think BOBOO is the worst AG minister in the entire World. Not just North America i think the entire fricking world.

With fake news MSN articles like these, the farmland investment companies and coffee row landlords will want a pay raise.

It’s getting to a point where if that happens, say farm it yourselves .... walk away .
There is so very little margin now on any rented land that it’s barely worth the time , effort and especially risk any more . Everyone else has taken way to much of the pie and primary producers are getting SFA for the risk involved.
Margins way too thin no matter Farm size .

The golden canola oil market is in China first and the EU second.

We get upset with crushers but I don't think they are making out like bandits. They are content to make their margin and keep pushing the product out if there is a market for it.

Speculation in China has had a lot to do with the increase in canola oil prices in China. Up 20% since May 12. It may be justified depending on the extent of crop losses due to the lousy weather there.

But likely good to remember speculators can leave the party as fast as they arrived.

The EU market has helped stabilize prices and keep product moving. Collectively EU countries have imported as much seed as Japan so far this crop year. And ya as the article states EU oil made from Canadian canola is likely making its way to China but hey it's a market. Getting the EU market going again is a real good news story.

Canadian producers delivered 20.5 MMT into the system this year. 2 MMT more than last year.

Farming101, you make a interesting point, and I always watch the producer deliveries to gauge the trends. The crop wasn’t as small last year as some predicted and/or there was a lot more carry over.

Seems like this year the bin bottoms are showing and swept.

I dont understand the off combine firesales every year. That is definitely hurting our prices. Sure there are bills to be paid but there are cash advances and bridge financing for all that. If we starved the trade for a little while we would get a nice premium a few months later.

10,000 ac farms cant get a 2M credit line? Interest rates are 2%. And whats all that fancy storage on farms now for?
