Canola the other sister is dropping faster than liberals popularity.

There was some kind of disease in my neighbors canola.
They sprayed about 250 acres of 20 year old pasture then seeded straight into it around june 1-5.
It germinated and tried its best to be a crop. I noticed at swathing time after the headlands done, the red swather turned snow white. It was a strange look.
They quit swathing and left a couple fields standing. I did not see the end result.
Some guys were saying it was the ash from the summer forest fires?
Im pretty sure it was disease.
Maybe crop insurance will pay better than the market this year.

Shout out to Wheatking ( Trent Klarenbach) His marketing analysis service called this canola market very accurately.
Even though I told him that this type of bad news was a poor way to sell a newsletter to farmers, since we only want to pay for someone to tell us what we want to hear, not the profitable truth.

It's the usual picking of the low hanging fruit first. Wouldn't expect canola to reach its highs until after input bills are due in Feb and March. Until then, farmers need to sell.

Crop Insurance Cheques vs Mr. Bill Pile

$0.30 spread between the two today and our soybean loads for this week canceled cause train was a no show. Land taxes and crop ins bill due today still showed up on time thou

.30 premium for canola I assume?

What are the grading factors for soybeans? No such thing as green seed I assume. Just dockage, and moisture?

Green is considered as Immature and are compared to the standard and green cotyledons are assessed under Total Damage.

I have never sold green beans yet it would take a very early frost , one that would wipe out canola and others crops with it. When mature they will combine on a crappy day when nothing else is close along as you can cut them. And they air down pretty quick and are easy to thrash. They are a latter season combine crop that has kicked flax to the gutter around this part of country.

[Old Cowzilla]

But don't believe anybody that says they are LOW imputs that is just a seed sales gimmick. The guys with the best bean crops are spending good coin on fert ,chem and now fungicides. Unless of course your just mining the rented land !

Can't figure it out soy up again and canola down hard. Yes it's nov and we're turning a new page but this is insane.

Add in spoilage and lost acres and I'm saying yields weren't what they think.

WTF is going on did Trudeau do something again and we're all paying.

At this rate it was smart to seed more wheat than canola I'll make great money on wheat this year.

Confused don't get it.

Why is canola tanking.

Crushers are going to buy from other companies instead of farmers for supply.

So who is causing the drop?

WTF is wrong with you and using the R word. Youve been doing it for years and it really shows your true colors. Id like to think you are better than that but this is what gives some of us rural folk a bad name.

Maybe if you had a special needs child youd understand.

MY new canola marketing plan: sell canola out of the bin for more money than you got for the canola sold spot market off combine in late September. Repeat to oneself: deflation can't happen.. deflation can't happen.. Still have a truck load of it in the shed. Saw a field of canola being combined yesterday so harvest is still not finished. All the canola that was straight cut a week ago has to go to town regardless of price as is it tough with green seed and will not store for long. So nice dry, aerated, binned canola will have to be stored until there is a drought threatening the new crop.

[furrowtickler]

Whining again about 30x15 of canola !

Truth is you didn't make 30 bu an acre !

Better than some , worse than others
You have no clue as usual again .
