That's pure bullshit.

The yields are going to be off considerably.

Canola should be at 12 bucks considering some is at day 45 and only has leaves 1.5 inches in diameter.

Hasn't filled on 10 spacing.

When do people that write this shit do the simple math about plant life.

Doesnt cargill want about 10k a year for that info?

I believe you guys but does Cargill, we do cry wolf quite a lot and perhaps Cargill think their guys know better

Sometimes we do know way before the trade, 2012 here I knew fusarium was bad. I could see it everywhere from the road in June and look in the ear, OMG, but trade took weeks months to understand just how bad.

Even when we have this knowledge I find it hard to know how to use it. Will price go up ? If it does will I have a crop?

2012 was aster yellows disease year here for canola.
Crop reporters were slow to pick up on yield damage until harvesting started, unpleasant surprise for many growers.
2013 crop was opposite for us, yields were better than expected.
Easy to be fooled.
