Stats Can Production

I sure hope those numbers are not accurate. There are a lot of unseeded acres in Northern Alberta. If all those acres go back into production in 18, the surplus grain will be everywhere.

Growing a large crop in Canada shouldn't be a concern. In fact that is what every grower strives to do year after year. There is the demand for a 20 million tone crop. Canada exported 10.878 million MT of seed and crushed 9.143 million MT. We used over 20 million tones before you get to Feed, Seed and Waste. Simply maintaining last years usage (20.021) we have a tighter carryout than the prior year.

My estimate mid summer was 18 to 18.5 I think. Taking into account higher seeded acres, I am leaning towards 18.5. I don't think 19.7 is possible.

Our yields were less than half of last year and are typical for the area. There are some whose yields are the same as last year, some are better than last year. I would say that those that are better than last year are alot smaller acres than those whose yields are worse than last year.

Just my opinion.

Looked at wheat prices lately?

Looked at wheat prices lately?

Yeah, but I don't know what that has to do with canola supply/demand or price? There is wheat everywhere in the world and no new demand. On top of that Canada has a low protein crop so you are competing with inferior wheat quality elsewhere. It's simple economics, canola supply and demand are both strong so price should remain steady. Wheat supply is burdensome and demand is weak. You get to 12.0 protein and you have to compete with HRW that is traded over the KC futures and $1.75 discount to Spring Wheat futures. So long answer is yes I know what wheat is worth but its apples and oranges.

Just because demand is there for 20 does not mean they have to talk up this crop to 20 . That seems to be come hell or high water the number they want to promote
Time will tell . The "market " may not like it but we will be short of the magic 20 number they crave .

CNS Canada — Canadian canola and wheat production likely ended up larger than earlier estimates, according to computer model-based data released Tuesday by Statistics Canada.

The model-based estimates are calculated by incorporating satellite data, agro-climate data, and Statistics Canada’s field crop reporting data. The numbers compare with the survey of farmers released Aug. 31.

Total canola production is now forecast at a record 19.7 million tonnes, compared to 18.2 million forecast in August, and the year-ago level of 19.6 million.

Canadian all-wheat production (including durum) was raised to 27.1 million, from 25.5 million. Wheat production in 2016 came in at 31.7 million tonnes.


“We’re still seeing the impact of the drought, but it’s just not as dramatic,” said Bruce Burnett, director of markets and weather with Glacier FarmMedia, on the increased yields from August.

“It fits in with what the trade was expecting (and) the trade still thinks the numbers will go higher from here.

“I don’t think it changes the overall market picture all that much,” he added. While canola production may be at a new record, he said demand remains strong as well and supplies will not be considered burdensome.

“The feeling from the field over the course of the harvest is that yields are coming in better than expected,” said analyst Mike Jubinville of ProFarmer Canada.

“I don’t think we’re done yet,” he added, noting “I think we have a (canola) crop of over 20 million tonnes.”

Well well well the bill Shit continues canola will never in a million years be at 20 mt it's really 16.9 no more or less

I wonder where fields of green soybeans that are only just starting to drop leaves and hardly have any pods fit into the model

Maybe I'm paying more attention this year but it seams to me that we are hearing a lot of talk about how big these crops are ore then ever. Elevators and Analyst calling that the highs are on already for this marketing year. Even viterra sending out their report congratulating people for hitting the durum highs for the year. On canola if the acres are up 10% that's going to help but can anyone on here believe that this canola crop is within 10% of lasts year canola crop? Not saying it's a horrible crop but it's smaller then 10% of last years prairie wide bumper crop. Let them increase last years crop, the higher the better, showed we used that much since the pipeline was dry in august. Also if we got $12 for canola last year why not this year even with a $20MT crop. Why all the pressure to sell at $11? Same with durum, viterra is at $7.33 for #1 durum and the viterra buyer says morocco is waiting a few months because they think pricing is going down in Canada! Do you think they believe that? I'm going to sell them #1 durum with a $6 in front on the worst drought on 90% of the durum acres in 15 years? The more talk I hear the more skeptical I get on everyone's intentions. Just doesn't add up to me. And I'll say it again Manitoba is 15%
