Canola

Going to be a “battle Royale” between Canada and oz later this year. Early days but a large crop looming, fight for market share later in year.

No big crop in this country. It will be a struggle. Hopefully it’s a better crop than last year.

We will have 1/2 a crop in western Canada again if it don’t rain in 2/3 of Alberta and Sask within 10 days

That’s the problem with some of our wet fields. Drains are frozen yet. Hard to believe but true

Canola just going in around here. Planted before rain just emerging. Too cold for most flea beetles, just hatching. Soy just starting to come up seeded 26 May.

Another puzzling day on the markets.

In response to the missile strike on the #2 Ukrainian port for wheat and #1 for sunflower oil, and reports that it was basically destroyed. Likely full of product considering the difficulty in exporting anything currently, wheat prices were way up starting last night, and soy oil prices down ( nearby) and soybeans/ canola lackluster.

Lots of participants in the market, but it seems that those who trade headlines think that Ukraine is only an exporter of wheat, not sunflower oil and products. I still maintain that the oil is the bigger story out of Ukraine. Wheat is grown all over the world, at all times of the year. Vegetable oils, specifically sunflowers don't have that luxury.

Ukraine produces more vegetable oil than all of Canada.

Ukraine and Russia together produce the vast majority of all sunflower/oil in the world.

Sunflower oil accounting for either side of 10% of all world veg oil production.
