I don't think Larry ever did post the results of his analysis, but the hint was that it was in the single digits. More corrections yet to come?

Satellite images can't distingiush an empty/blank pod on a green plant from a full pod on a green plant.

Based on those numbers durum is the sleeper with the highest up side potential.

Canola was close to double the yield of durum in our area. Canola seems more drought resistant, for our experience the last few years.

Could be for some, Canola, Wheat and Peas yields are close to the same…

Flax in our area seems to be yielding close to 30 which at $30 a bushel is decent!

I was perusing the Canola Digest magazine recently. According to their numbers, by 2024, Canada will have almost 16 mmt of canola crush capacity. The future for canola looks bright!

Just remember, everything has it's limits. At what price does demand destruct. Everything is replaceable.

Hurry up and get your miracle canola seed for next year. Big discounts. L.O.L.

Canola in our area was also quite weedy this year which on satellite imagery makes the crop look better than it actually is. The only way to estimate the crop size is do like SF3 and drive, drive, drive………

At $20 give or take, the market is likely bumping against its limits. However, the market seems to jump up and down by dollars per bushel instead of cents, so careful marketing can still make a big difference to the bottom line. Especially with a smaller crop.

There is no replacement for durum. Canada and ND have a lock on that production.

That would be one of the smallest crops in more than 20 yrs if I am not mistaken.
