Canola Weaker on Wednesday

Canola futures were weaker on Wednesday, walking back some of the gains made earlier in the week.
 
Strength in the Canadian dollar weighed in canola, even as Chicago soybeans and soyoil were higher on the day. The Argentine port strike was finally settled after 20 days, but tight global supplies and continuing dryness for soy crops in South American supported the US markets.
 
Declining Canadian supplies are putting a level of support under canola prices, with the market needing to ration demand.
 
January canola was down $8.40 at $623.80, March lost $3.10 to $617.40 and May fell $2.70 to $603.90.

Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Video: Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
