Hmmmm , not to sure in the canola thing .
Yup lots went in but a lot more was intended.
Co-op in Meadow Lake alone sent back 3000 bags ..... that's 30,000 ac plus from one retailer , one area .

Holy cow. They were quite behind though. Freezes early there like glaslyn area. Still 30000 acres is big in a cropping area such as that. Mind you that big operator at Makwa who the Hutterites farm the land now was a canola canola etc rotation.

How big is the canola it's eating? Haven't been your way but here canola is from emerged to cabbage and some looking to bolt. Only stuff flowering I presse is volunteers. Stuff is coming on fast though and might make it. That said everything is late and lots of ugly stands me thinks record acres will amount to an average total yield. Lots of acres seeded late went into mid maturity varieties because shorter season ones weren't to be had. Wished I'd booked more early stuff. Managed to sc**** up some more early stuff so barring early frost the crop should make it. Some were seeding hrs into June and not real early varieties neither. So between drought areas, unseeded areas, and an early frost and bugs; grain cos and railways shouldn't have burdensome crops to move. Even if we don't freeze late crops don't give big bushels.

Here are all the numbers out of StatsCan report,

Too bad they don't breakdown peas into yellow vs. green vs. other, like they've done for wheat.
