ICE Close: Canola Up with US Markets

Canola futures ended the week higher, gaining with the rally in US crop markets. 

Most of the strength in the US markets was linked to a Ukraine attack on a Russian port that handles grain, raising fears about the potential for tightening global supplies as the two sides strike port and grain facilities. However, there is the potential for weakness ahead as the Prairie harvest gets underway. 

November canola was up $16.60 at $797.50, January added $15.70 to $799.90, and March was $14 higher at $799.60.

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.
