Canadian farmers anticipate planting more acres of wheat, corn, dry peas and oats in 2019 compared with 2018, while seeding intentions for canola, soybeans and lentils have declined relative to the previous year.
Planting intentions may have been influenced by ongoing issues, including lower prices for some crops as a result of global supply, tariffs and decreased foreign demand due to ongoing trade issues.
Given the intention of farmers to plant a greater area of wheat, corn, and dry field peas, there is an expected increase in seeded area for grains, pulse and special crops, while oilseeds are anticipated to decrease given the lower seeded area of canola and soybeans.
Canadian farmers intended to plant 25.7 million acres of wheat in 2019, up 3.8% from 2018.
Farmers expect to plant 6.6% fewer acres of canola, to 21.3 million acres in 2019 compared with the previous year. If seeding intentions are realized, this would represent the lowest seeded area of canola since 2016 and 1.6% lower than the five-year average of 21.7 million acres.
Farmers in Canada expect to seed 5.6 million acres of soybeans in 2019, down 10.7% from 6.3 million acres in 2018. Dry conditions over the past two years in Western Canada contributed to lower yields,
which may have contributed to some farmers deciding to decrease the seeded area of soybeans.
Farmers expect to seed more acres of barley compared with 2018. The larger expected seeded area in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta could push the total anticipated area up 10.2% to 7.2 million acres in 2019.
Corn acres up also.
So my seeding intentions.
HRS 4500
Canola 4000
Barley 500
Peas 500
Oats 500
We have a match, boys.
Ah, I love math.
Have a great day.
What are others thinking and is this about right? I said Canola acres would be down as guys aren't doing Canola Snow Canola. Unless they are in bed with a company.
