How high will Canola go if Acreage is below 18.

At the risk of being troll-like.
Many are likely complacent in trying to find cropping alternatives.
However, if you cant grow chickpeas or lentils. If you want your peas off before too much rain. If feed barley or oats doesnt pay the bills. If you need a chem rotation.
We will continue to be yellow here until disease takes us out. After grower complacency, I see anti gmo stupidity hampering our resistance breeding as biggest problem.
Obviously lower cost producers can adhere to the 3 yr rotation a little better. 4 yr rotations dont exist. And once you have clubroot that only keeps the spore count / gram of soil to a moderate few million anyway.
Sask, the price will only go as high as replacement oils allow it to.

I agree the top end will not get much better if acreage is dropped. It might gain a bit or stabilize. Yes guys will push rotation. Yes if I could grow chickpeas it would be a crop back on. But risked that and failed in East Sask
Lentils are also not a option.
so were limited.

Personally I think canola is a sleeper this year. I have switched half my land from canola to flax. Ellevator agents all see it also. Perhaps unpriced flax growers may switch but new crop flax is still rising. We dnt grow lentils here. Beens have been a bit slaughtered also.
