Interesting chart on Manitoba.

Oats, barley and flax all down significantly over last 10 years.
Wheat and canola relatively flat.

Soybeans from 200,000 to 1.6 million acres.....need a soybean crusher there.

JRI is stuck at $10.47 for sept / oct .
P&H $10.52 .
That was earlier today .
Would like to see $11 in my jeans for off combine as a starting point .
ADM Lloyd $10.91
Nexera at $12.04

Same here they think we will grow a big crop so why bid it up soy getting close to $12. Acres are switching

[WiltonRanch]

Acres won't change much in this area. Pretty much half wheat half canola. Aside from cow guys growing feed and some intrepid legume growers. Acres don't chase fads like they used to.

Soy acres are moving back to exploring upwards a bit again
There was a big push 3 years ago but yields were dismal at around 20 bpa.
Newer , earlier varieties are seeing 35 bpa . But we have had decent August rain the past 2 years as well .
Soy will not replace canola here for a while yet. It will take wheat and some pulse acres if there is another "root rot" scare.
Canola still yields close to 2x soybeans here .
If we can get beans to stay above 40-45 bpa , then acres may switch .

Eventually it will. Your looking at mb as a whole. If u look at acreage shift in the s of mb youd see the trend. Not so much beans in big part of mb, that being the sw and nw areas where canola acres still strong and stealing acres from other crops. As beans march nwestward as varities become more suitale canola will tank. High oleic beans will likely speed this trend over the next 10 to 15 years.

New crop bean bids $12/bu. nitrogen cost:$0/ac. Beans outyielded canola in mb last year. With canola seed costs now approaching bean seed costs its a no brainer.

Maybe the canola Seed Cos will have a "special" "Made in Southern Manitoba" canola seed price to compete with soybeans stealing canola's acres!

Guys are growing them around here and not too long ago there was B.S. about no disease issues....well lo and behold they're suscetible to schlerotinia as well. And get something called chocolate spot and who knows whal all else. And you better like harvesting on the ground albeit probably twice as easy as downed peas and lentils!

But it would be nice to see those greedy bastards (read canola seed cos) have some competition!
