Big Day Today in Grain Markets!

The Statscan report today showed another big balance sheet discrepancy. It said canola on farms was 4.79 mmt, barely half of year-ago 9.06. Using previous StatsCan figures for ‘20 production (18.72 mmt) and farm carryin at July 31 (1.86 mmt) gives an on-farm supply of 20.56 mmt. Primary deliveries between July 1/20 and Mar 31/21 (week 34) were reported by the Grain Commission at 15.07 mmt. That should have left 5.49 mmt on farms Mar 31. The gap is approx 700,000 tonnes of canola, 3 weeks of use, that apparently never existed. Either the ‘20 canola harvest or carry-in was overestimated or Mar 31 stocks undercounted. According to these numbers there is enough canola to average deliveries of 266,000 tonnes a week to the end of the crop year and approx 218,000 to the first harvest. The average for the crop year to date is 435,000. The canola shortage is even tighter than thought.

Yup , imagine that , both were overestimated in all crops

We have seeded wheat but will not seed oilseeds unless it rains.

Bunge also narrowed in old crop but only $10/t. I've seen enough. The last is getting signed up at $24.29. That's a big number.
