Canola acres for 2024. In the tank or increasing?

[dave4441]

what is everybody thinking on lentils?

Acres will increase by about 25%. Thats my guess. Specifically on green lentils.

25% seems alot but not in bigger scheme of things. a few hundred thousand more acres is easy and with prices in the $30/bu+ range for now why stop at only 25%?

Canola local terminal today 13.22/bu. Durum 12.86,CWRS 8.68. Looks like durum the winner now and prob going forward in our area.

There will be an increase, but not everyone is increasing. We normally have 2,400 to 2,700 acres of reds and next year for a few different reasons we are down to 1,100.

Green and maple pea acres will be high.
Which ever way you slice it there really isn’t anything to get excited about.

[SASKFARMER]

Talking to people at the crop production show yesterday I'm thinking lots more peas durum lentils and oats, canola buyers getting their wish way fewer acres.

Guys in the south won’t grow $10 peas over $30 lentils. You can contract greens at .50 lb

With the drought last yr there will be a lot of chemical carryover where durum can’t be seeded on.

[SASKFARMER]

I agree the pea price is the shits and you are right 10 dollar peas and shitty varieties wont cut it.

South of number one lentils and Durum, Number one to 16 East of Long lake to border will be wheat some durum lentils and peas Canola acres will be down. West of long lake and 16 to 1 will be Durum lentils and chick peas etc. Canola will be almost a thing of the past. 16 north will be Canola oats up big time peas or faba and the odd guy lentils.

Its a not fun time in growing a crop.

Storm rolled through and all in the bush thanks to 60 km winds.

Have a great day.

Canola acres will be the same for us as it was back in October, even in SW Sask. Agronomics trumps dollars, especially when you play the long game. Sticking to a minimum 1 in 4 rotation on pulses. Have done some as long as 1 in 7. Lentil yields get better the longer the rotation.

Canola acres in this area a given every year.
