Did Canola Already Top? Farmer Nathan on $800 Canola

Canola hit $802, pulled back near $774, and now farmers are asking the big question: did canola already hit its seasonal high, or is this just a relief rally? In this episode of Cuppa Coffee from What the Futures, Ryan Denis is joined by Farmer Nathan to talk through the live grain market moves, canola pricing, wheat basis, diesel price discovery, prairie moisture, unseeded acres, hedging resources, and how farmers can make profitable sales without freezing up emotionally. Nathan breaks down how he approached $800 canola, why he still made earlier sales at profitable levels, and how he thinks about futures-only sales, pullbacks, and using calls to stay in the game. Ryan also shares what farmers are asking about diesel under $1/L, Fuel Nexus, old crop wheat opportunities, feed barley, and why this is a moment to focus on today’s decisions instead of regretting past sales.
