The $800 Canola Mistake Farmers Keep Making

Fertilizer Dropped. Is $800 Canola Still Alive?

Fertilizer prices have finally come down, but the farm decisions are not getting any easier. In this Cuppa Coffee livestream from What the Futures Podcast, Sarah Cochet fills in for Ryan Denis and talks with Josh Uhrich of Bunge about urea prices, flooded acres, canola contracts, $800 canola, grain marketing decisions, weather risk, and prairie elevator competition. They cover whether farmers should be looking at summer fill urea, what flooded acres mean for canola contract risk, what it would take for canola to push back toward $800, and why grain marketing decisions need to be made farm by farm.

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.
