Faba Bean Feed Benchmark Dec. 21/18

Feed grain values have remained fairly stable in Manitoba while prices have increased a little further west in Alberta and Saskatchewan due to tight trucking and low interest from sellers as the holiday season approaches. Corn DDGS has remained high given the weaker Canadian dollar and tight ethanol margins while soybean meal has remained within a similar range to previous weeks. Feed pea prices have been stronger in Alberta with elevators buying at up to $270-$275 and lack of availability of feed grade in the marketplace. In central Saskatchewan, trades have occurred at similar prices. Manitoba prices have climbed some but remained below the marks seen in the western prairies.

  • AB: $307
  • SK: $304
  • MB: $289

* Models have been updated to reflect the latest nutrient compositions of feed ingredients, which is done periodically.

Gowan Canada is partnering with Geco Strategic Weed Management to help Canadian growers take a strategic approach to weed control through data-driven prediction and planning.

Geco’s technology uses data and AI to map where weeds have been over the past five years and predict where patches are likely to emerge next season. These insights allow farms and retailers to plan ahead and target actions in the most challenging areas.

“Our technology enables the question: if you could know where your most problematic patches are and where they are spreading to, what could you do differently? That’s what our technology makes possible,” said Greg Stewart, CEO of Geco. “Many of our farms are already using our prescriptions along with Gowan products, so this collaboration is a natural next step.”
