StatsCan Shock: Canola Acres Came in Big

StatsCan dropped new acreage numbers, and the canola market had to digest a bigger-than-expected number fast. In this Cuppa Coffee livestream, Ryan Denis is joined by Brian Comeault to break down what the StatsCan report means for canola, spring wheat, barley, peas, oats, lentils, and Prairie crop marketing decisions. They also touch on urea summer fill, wet crop conditions, canola crush demand, USDA acreage risk, and why buying out grain contracts can backfire when emotions are running high. If you’re trying to make better grain marketing decisions through a volatile summer, this episode is worth watching before your next move.

The $800 Canola Mistake Farmers Keep Making

Canola hit $800, then pulled back toward $730. So why do farmers feel better now? In this episode of What the Futures Podcast, Ryan Denis breaks down the emotional side of crop marketing, why farmers often feel worse during a rally than after a pullback, and how margin calls, hedges, canola puts, old crop wheat, acreage reports, diesel, fertilizer and summer weather risk all fit into the end-of-June marketing plan. Ryan also talks through old crop wheat sales, softening oat, barley and pea bids, new crop review, harvest delivery planning, canola acreage risk, and why farmers need to park emotion before the next market move.
