Faba Bean Feed Benchmark

 
Corn, feed wheat and barley prices were all up $10-15 across the Prairies driven by higher cash corn values and concerns over lack of planting progress both in Canada and the US for the upcoming crops.
 
Corn DDGS followed the main commodities, increasing by $10-20 in all provinces. A late report out of Argentina detailing a drop in that country’s soybean harvest coupled with slow planting progress in the US caused meal prices to surge by $20-25/T across the west.
 
Canola meal values meanwhile held steady over the past two weeks. Feed peas traded in the 255-260 range in Saskatchewan, 265 in Alberta, and 265-270 in Manitoba.

What I’m Checking Behind the Planter This Spring

Video: What I’m Checking Behind the Planter This Spring



This is the first episode of a new behind-the-scenes series on our farm.

Today I’m checking behind the planter looking at planting depth, seed-to-soil contact, and making sure we’re placing seed into moisture, even in a dry spring.

Everything can look good from the cab, but this is where you find out what’s really happening.

We also ran into a prescription issue that slowed us down, which is a good reminder that even when conditions are ideal, the little things still matter.

If you’re planting right now, it’s worth taking a few minutes to check behind your planter.
