Agriculture Canada Releases First Estimates For 2016

Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada has released its first seeding estimates for 2016 grain, oilseed and pulse crops.
 
Following other analysts earlier predictions, the Ag Canada forecast is calling for double digit increases in pulse area and a reduction for spring wheat.
 
It projects the area planted to lentils will jump 13 per cent to a record 4.45 million acres. Higher prices caused by poor production in India has led to more producer interest in lentils.
