Acres still left out?

Looks like the snow should melt, and this is critical to combining, based on our experience when it freezes should move if snow is gone.

In the north, we have been here before, and yes there has been miracles of combining dry in November before. With better weather forecasting you can decide if it is the year to wait or plug it through whenever it will go through.

Not sure about the south but some of the elevators in the north offer drying for a fee.

Talk to quite a few farmers and most have something left, makes you wonder what % of farmers are finished as it seems a lot have some left, some have lots left, and yes some areas are worse, and some just awful.

When you have that much crop still out in western Canada and it doesn't even make the world AG News. Really Canada its a shock.

Instead of 18 mil ton or Canola what 15. No surplus.

SF3 there is still a chance that canola is going to be harvested....and that is likely what the trade is thinking also. And alot will be offered to the market if it is in poor storing condition..... until it's completely frozen and a blanket of snow over everything...there is still a chance.

That being said...ICE canola gained almost a dime per bushel yesterday....but did the basis stay put?

Yup basis still poor.

Long term forecast looks reasonable for southern Sask , not good for the northern 1/2 of the grain belt .
Anything can and will change but as of now anywhere south of hwy 16 May have a chance if not under water already.

Sunday stuff has got to go away somehow.

Basis is improving as well.

Terminals are all aggressive to buy more canola now....worried about supply if snow stays too long for a large part of Prairies.

Might be a subdued Agritrade. Hell, hope I'm pushin stick!

[seabass]

There will definitely be alot done yet before the fat lady sings. Driers will be smokin. Boys will be rolling for sure. Too much money sitting out there not to push it. I have faith we will get a window yet.

[furrowtickler]

true but not looking good , this may be unprecedented.

A two week stretch of dry sunny weather is definetly coming. And the crop will peel off fast after tonights hard frost. Don't fret just quite yet!

[furrowtickler]

Maybe in your area but not anywhere near here
