The Canola Rally Farmers Can’t Afford to Miss ( Before Prices Drop? )

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.

Canola Rally, Ugly Basis: Hedge or Wait?

Canola futures are green, but prairie basis is still ugly. In today’s Cuppa Coffee, Ryan Denis breaks down canola, wheat, urea, UAN, crude oil, crop conditions, and crop marketing strategy with Evan Boyle from Simple Hedge. Canola was trading around $763/tonne, crude oil was under $78/barrel, urea was around $800/tonne, and wheat markets were trying to find support. Ryan and Evan discuss whether farmers should sell wheat rallies, whether canola basis is lagging futures, whether puts still make sense, and why relief rallies may be the marketing opportunity farmers cannot afford to ignore.
