2019 Food and Farming Champion: Lesley Kelly

The 4th Annual Food and Farming Champion Award was handed out recently as part of the Public Trust Summit in Saskatoon.
 
The award honours those who work to advocate for agriculture and inspire public trust in Saskatchewan's food industry.
 
Clinton Monchuk is Executive Director of Farm & Food Care Saskatchewan and says this year’s panel selected Lesley Kelly as this year’s winner.
 
“A lot of people probably know her from her handle, High Heels and Canola Fields. She has been an absolutely excellent advocate for Saskatchewan agriculture. She's done a lot, just recently with the Do More Ag Foundation talking a little bit more about mental health and mental well being and the agriculture sector. She is definitely a well deserving candidate for this award.”

Video: USDA Feb Crop Report a WIN for Soybeans + 1 Year Trade Truce Extension


USDA took Trumps comments that China would buy more U.S. soybeans seriously and headline news that the U.S./China trade truce would be extended when Trump/Xi meet in the first week of April was a BIG WIN for soybeans this week! 2026 “Mini” U.S. ethanol boom thanks to 45Z + China’s ban of phosphates from Feb. – August of 2026 will not help lower fertilizer prices anytime soon! 30 mmt of Chinese corn harvest is of poor quality and maybe a technical breakout in wheat futures.

*Apologies! Where we talk about the latest CFTC update as of 10th Feb 2026, managed money funds covered their net short position in canola to the tune of +42,746 week-on-week to flip to net long 145 contracts and not (as we mistakenly said) +90,009 wk/wk to 47,408.
