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.

Video: Syngenta Ag Stories - Reanna Hagel, Channel Marketing Manager

Growing up on a cow-calf operation and small feedlot near Lumby, BC, Reanna learned agriculture the hands-on way with her sister on the family farm. Today, as Channel Marketing Manager for Syngenta Canada, what Reanna loves most about her work is simple: the customer is always at the centre. Whether that's a grower or a channel partner, she understands them on a personal level - because she's the daughter of one. But for Reanna, supporting ag doesn't stop at her job. She volunteers with local 4-H clubs, lends a hand to her farming neighbours, and is raising her own kids to understand and respect the land. Her advice to the next generation? "It's an amazing time to be in the industry - it's going to look completely different in 20 years. To be part of the evolution is very exciting."
