Canola production in Manitoba rose 5.4% from 2017 to 3.3 million tonnes in 2018, that according to Statistics Canada.

Delaney Ross Burtnack is the executive director of the Manitoba Canola Growers Association.

"This was certainly one of the better years in terms of acreage, it wasn't a record year, but still one of the high years. Canola production is definitely high and favoured in the province...Overall, it was strong."

Manitoba canola yields fell from 44 bushels per acre in 2017 to 43.3 in 2018.

Lower yields were offset by a larger harvested area, which increased by 224,100 acres to 3.4 million. Ross Burtnack expects to see similar acres in 2019.

Clubroot is often viewed as a Central Alberta problem, but the canola disease is spreading.

The Canola Council of Canada says the disease leads to swollen, deformed plant roots that restrict water and nutrient uptake, resulting in premature ripening or plant death.

Agronomy Specialist with the Canola Council of Canada, Dan Orchard, says in Alberta, clubroot's expanding at a rate of 30 kilometres per year.

"Don't wait until you see dead patches to go looking for clubroot. By then it's kind of like closing the barn door after the horse is out, so I think scouting diligently to find those symptoms before they appear above ground, and that's going to be a huge saviour."

Clubroot was found in a field southeast of Calgary back in September, which is the first year the disease had been confirmed in Rocky View County.clubroot canola council canada 001Clubroot photo courtesy of the Canola Council of Canada.

Orchard adds research shows the importance of crop rotations to prevent the disease.

"A two year break from canola and it seems 95, maybe even 99 per cent of the spores are not viable anymore. We didn't realize that, but there's been a few studies done now and they kind of agree with each other that a two year break is really, really valuable."

He says, it was originally thought spores lasted for 18 or 20 years, but now they know less than one per cent of spores live this long.

"We need that break to bring the spore load low enough that it's manageable enough going forward. Once you get a spore load in the millions and millions, that two years may not be enough, but for most of the prairies, a two year break is going to be sufficient to keep those spore loads low enough to manage."

Alberta Farmer Wins The Canola 100 Challenge

12/19/2018

0 Comments

 

Canola 100 winner, Merle Klassen, accepting his award at the Farm Forum Event in Calgary. Wednesday, December 5.

For the last three years, some Canadian farmers have been striving to grow a 100 bushels per acre canola crop.

It's all part of the Canola 100 Challenge, where they tried to produce the high yield over 50 continuous acres.

No one did crack the hundred bushels over the three years of the competition, but the overall winner with the highest yield was Linden area farmer, Merle Klassen, growing an 85.88 bushels per acre canola crop in 2017.

Klassen says, they used InVigor L233P and had a phenomenal growing season in 2017.

"We had near perfect conditions for our area. Eleven inches of water, we kept getting these predictions of mid 30's temperature while we were flowering, and we kept getting smoke coming over and held that temperature down. I think that was a big contributing factor to it."

He says, since the contest rules were the first farmer to reach 100 bushels, they got an early jump on harvest.

"It was a great year, so we thought what if someone else gets ahead of us, so we're going to just try it. We sprayed it at the correct time to speed maturity up, but then we jumped the gun a bit on actual harvest. We were there about a week before we should've been. The canola was dry, the plant wasn't, so we were fighting it with our combines. I'm pretty sure we were throwing some out the back, but we managed to get it done."

Klassen won the use of a full set of John Deere Equipment with a tractor, air seeder, high clearance sprayer, windrower and combine to put 100 hours on each unit.

The winner was announced at the Farm Forum Event in Calgary on Wednesday, December 5, where the BASF Global Canola Manager, Garth Hodges, was on hand to help present the award.

Hodges says, it was exciting to see the 2016, 2017 and 2018 winners all used InVigor varieties.

"You can imagine how many high fives and slaps on the back we have at the office and in the field. When you've won three years in a row, that's just not a lucky chance, that means that a number of people have put a lot of hard work into achieving that."

Hodges says, their varieties have the genetic potential to reach 100 bushels per acre, but the question is how to unleash it and protect it.

"I think the one thing for me is, how do we manage the sustainability? To me it's not about just achieving 100, but it's how can we ensure that there's sustainability in the things we're doing today."

Hodges says, it's inspirational to watch farmers push the envelope of their canola genetics through competitions like the Canola 100 Challenge.

Canola Council resets course for 'efficiencies'

12/11/2018

0 Comments

 

Facing new limits on available funding, Canada’s canola value chain organization plans to refocus its work on its “core strengths” and collaborate with other players.

The Canola Council of Canada on Wednesday announced a revised work plan, coming out of a “priorities review” undertaken after one of Canada’s biggest grain companies called a halt to annual funding for several oilseed industry groups.

Richardson International announced in January it would withdraw yearly commitments worth over $1 million combined to the Canola Council, Soy Canada and the Flax Council of Canada — the lion’s share of which had gone to the canola body.

The Winnipeg-based Canola Council’s resources “are now more tightly focused on the industry’s current priorities and the CCC programs most valued by members,” the council said in a release Wednesday.

From the perspective of the Canadian canola grower, that tightened focus will mean “less emphasis” on extension-style agronomy work by council staff, such as “individual field walks and on-farm support.”

Rather, the council said, it will put more focus on “engaging commercial agronomy in effective delivery and amplification of knowledge and best management practices to growers,” to be co-ordinated through a new CCC “sustainable supply committee.”

The council’s own agronomy specialists will still have “geographic responsibilities,” but are also expected to increase their focus on their “individual areas of specialization” such as clubroot, blackleg, stand establishment, weed management, storage management and others.

Staff will still provide “credible, evidence‐based data and knowledge to support all areas of CCC activity” from production issues though to “supporting market access objectives,” the council said.

Some council programming will also be moved to “other parts of the value chain,’ the CCC said. For instance, it plans to reduce its role in administering the Canola Performance Trials and transfer that responsibility to other stakeholders.

Other activities, such as the Ultimate Canola Challenge and sentinel site program, will be wrapped up, the council said.

The council said its team will also be “less involved” in provincial disease and pest surveying.

Market access and government advocacy remain “top priorities of the full canola value chain,” the council said, but CCC members “can also expect to see more advocacy on cross‐commodity issues” as the council offers “leadership and additional support” to the Canada Grains Council and Canadian Agri‐Food Trade Alliance.

Consumer‐oriented canola promotions will be “discontinued” in large markets where canola is “firmly established,” the council said, and its marketing work will shift to “maintenance and nurturing of the Canadian canola brand.”

In “new and emerging” markets, the council said it will work with the Canadian Canola Growers Association to develop and deliver a program for canola brand promotion and awareness, particularly in countries such as South Korea, Vietnam and Chile, where “free trade agreements are creating new opportunities.”

To fund its work, the council said, it plans to decouple its budget from a levy linked to production, processing and handling and instead tie the budget directly to “priorities and programs.”

The funding model will “provide more predictability for annual contributions,” the council said. Half the budget funding would come from producer groups, the other 50 per cent from the industry.

Thus, the council said, its core budget for 2019 will be $5.2 million, down from $8.7 million in 2017.

Core funders of the council include the three Prairie provinces’ checkoff-funded canola grower groups, the Canadian Canola Growers Association and (through the CCGA) the Ontario Canola Growers and B.C. Grain Producers Association.

Other funding sources include a voluntary processor levy through the Canadian Oilseed Processors Association, contributions from life science companies such as Bayer, BASF, Corteva, Syngenta and Nutrien and a voluntary levy on export companies such as Viterra, G3, Bunge, Cargill, Parrish and Heimbecker and Providence Grain.

“We’re very pleased that all segments of the value chain are fully behind the direction we are taking,” council president Jim Everson said in a release. “It’s a direction that will enable us to continue our record of leadership, while enhancing our partnerships.”

“With (council members’) input, we determined that the Keep it Coming 2025 strategic plan should remain our industry’s roadmap, and we will reset our priority activities to better respond to today’s needs,” council chair David Dzisiak said in the same release.

The Keep it Coming 2025 plan is based on achieving 52 bushels per acre to meet global market demand of 26 million tonnes by 2025. — Glacier FarmMedia Network

Weak dollar supports canola

12/11/2018

0 Comments

 

The ICE Futures canola platform finished the day stronger, supported by a weak Canadian dollar. Trading was choppy in the last few minutes before market close.

The Canadian dollar fell below the 75 U.S. cents mark Monday, as tensions continue to rise over the arrest of Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou last week. China has warned Canada it could face severe consequences for the arrest.

Canola contracts found support from tightening spreads as participants are starting to roll their January positions forward into March. Spreads accounted for most of trade during the day.

Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) soybean and meal contracts were weaker, while soyoil contracts were stronger.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) releases its monthly supply/demand report tomorrow, and pre-report positioning took place during the day in North American grain and oilseed markets.

About 32,757 canola contracts traded, which compares with Friday when 29,759 contracts changed hands. Spreading accounted for 26,924 of the contracts traded.

The USDA announced a 125,000 tonne sale of soybeans to unknown destinations for the 2018/19 crop year this morning.

Bloomberg reported that China will soon announce it will be resuming U.S. soybean purchases. Volume could be in the five to eight million tonne range, but it is still being decided as to whether or not they will lift 25 per cent tariff.

China imported 5.38 million tonnes of soybeans in November, according to the USDA. This is down 38 per cent from last year; it is the smallest monthly volume in two years and the smallest November volume since 2012. Year-to-date imports are down by four per cent.
CBOT corn prices finished the day in the red.

The USDA announced a flash sale of 1,645,920 tonnes of corn to Mexico this morning. This is the fourth-largest daily sale of corn on record since 1977.
Wheat futures in the U.S. finished the day weaker.
Winter wheat acres in Kansas are expected to be less than last year, due to a colder and wetter than average fall. This could see Kansas having the smallest wheat acreage number in more than a century.
Export prices of Russian milling wheat rose by US$3 per tonne last week to US$228 per tonne, following another sale to Egypt.

 

OUTSIDE MARKETS

Light crude oil nearby futures in New York was down $1.61 at US$51.00 per barrel.

In the afternoon, the Canadian dollar was trading around US74.74 cents, up from 75.19 cents the previous trading day. The U.S. dollar was C$1.3379.

Canola Expo highlights future challenges in industry

12/7/2018

0 Comments

 
News

The annual Canola Expo held in Langdon at the Langdon Activity Center was once again highly attended and provided a great day of learning and spreading of information on exciting projects. The show, sponsored by the Northern Canola Growers Association, is in its 21st year and closed out another record-breaking year of canola production in the state of North Dakota.

Posted 12/6/18

By Melissa Anderson

Across the United States, the 2018 growing season saw a total of 3.6 billion pounds of canola harvested. North Dakota brought in the lion’s share of the harvest with 2.9 billion pounds. Planted acres of canola did not change from the 2017 growing season with 1.56 million acres being planted in 2018, but those acres saw a nearly 300 pound per acre increase as the 2018 harvest yielded 1,920 pounds per acre in North Dakota.

Canola, as a crop, had an outstanding year, but 2019 may prove more difficult for producers to have a successful year, especially those in Cavalier County. From volatile market forecasts to a pathogen outbreak, 2019 will be filled with many challenges for producers to navigate and come out unscathed.

The canola expo began with Dr. Lesley Lubenow informing those in attendance that clubroot of canola, a pathogen on a rampage, is increasing its root hold in Cavalier County. Dr. Venkat Chapara, soil pathologist at the Langdon Research Extension Center, saw substantial increases in clubroot infected fields across the eastern portion of Cavalier County. The moisture loving and low pH tolerant pathogen has started conversations on how best to combat the disease.

Dr. Lubenow and Dr. Chapara gave the following recommendations- increase crop rotation to at least 3 years and begin planting the resistant varieties. Dr. Chapara has been conducting research in attempts to determine if there is anything more that producers can do to limit the impact the pathogen can have on susceptible crops. One of his studies found that raising the pH of the soil through the amendment of beet lime decreased the impact that the pathogen spores had on the canola roots. However, this alone cannot stop the spores as there is no effective chemical control and limited resistant varieties for producers to plant.

“Rotating the resistant varieties is vital. Genetics are a tool, but there is a no eradication [of clubroot]. We have to learn to live with it,” Dr. Lubenow stated.

Dr. Louis del Rio followed Dr. Lubenow and reiterated the dangers that clubroot poses. Of the diseases that affect canola, clubroot is by far the most damaging with little to no way to control or combat its effects on plants.

“The moment we need to take for planting resistant varieties and extending rotation is now,” Dr. del Rio stated.

Other diseases, such as black leg, appeared to have decreased in field surveys conducted across the state this year. End of season field surveys for insects resulted in 100 percent identification for crucifer flea beetles in the fields surveyed while only 66 percent of fields surveyed had striped flea beetles. Other insects that were identified include the cabbage flea beetle, the flea beetle, and the three-spotted flea beetle. These last insects were only at very low levels in the fields surveyed.

The keynote speaker for this year’s canola expo was Randy Martinson of Martinson Ag Risk Management group based in Fargo. Martinson, unfortunately, did not have much better news to give to the producers in attendance as many of the crops discussed were in upheaval as a result of the trade war and would not see stabilization until a deal is finalized between the United States and China. Martinson went over numerous issues that will affect crop production in the area including oil prices and production, as well as planting and harvesting conditions around the world. Canola prices are linked closely to soybeans, and while there has been good news in terms of the U.S. – China trade war with a truce being reached, it will not take full effect until January 1, 2019. Even then, Martinson still was cautious as there is a three month window for things to change.

“Three months to come together and get an understanding. A trade deal can’t be made in 90 days,” he said.

The start date of January 1 poses the problem of trying to get any American soybeans into China before the Brazilian harvest begins. Due to excellent planting conditions, some Brazilian provinces planted exceptionally early and are slated for a late December harvest. This poses a problem for the stock-piled American soybeans looking for a market. For American farmers, the end of the 90 day window falls on April 1, long after producers will have made planting decisions for the 2019 growing season.

One bright spot is that the NAFTA 2.0 deal has been finalized bringing two of America’s biggest trading partners, Canada and Mexico, back into play. Martinson also believes that once soybeans start to see a positive upturn, canola will follow. For Cavalier County, the other big crop of wheat will be the most positive despite a national decrease in acreage. But just like with soybeans and canola, wheat cannot expect to see a positive turn until after the first of the year.

Overall, Martinson advised producers to watch the prices, and when they hit the break even mark, it would be a good idea to sell. The producers will know when that time arrives as the Chinese must first lift the tariffs off American goods before they will begin to purchase.

Published: Wednesday, 05 December 2018 07:50
Written by Cory Knutt

Canadian farmers reported increased production of wheat and barley in 2018, while canola, corn for grain, soybeans and oat production was down from the previous year.

Despite dry conditions, especially in the Prairie provinces throughout the spring and early summer, increased precipitation in some regions in late July and August helped crop growth.

However, snow and cold temperatures in some parts of the country delayed harvest and may have affected the overall quality and quantity of the crop.

Nationally, farmers reported producing 31.8 million tonnes of wheat in 2018, up 6.0% from 2017. Farmers in Manitoba reported producing 4.7 million tonnes of wheat in 2018, up from 4.4 million tonnes in 2017.

Total canola production declined from 21.3 million tonnes in 2017 to 20.3 million tonnes this year. Production in Manitoba rose 5.4% from 2017 to 3.3 million tonnes in 2018.

Farmers reported that soybean production fell from 7.7 million tonnes in 2017 to 7.3 million tonnes in 2018. In Manitoba, smaller harvested area and lower yields led to a 29.6% drop in production, from 2.2 million tonnes to 1.6 million tonnes.

At the national level, farmers reported production of 13.9 million tonnes of corn for grain in 2018, down from 14.1 million tonnes in 2017.

Canadian farmers reported that barley production increased from 7.9 million tonnes in 2017 to 8.4 million tonnes in 2018.

Nationally, the production of oats decreased from 3.7 million acres in 2017 to 3.4 million acres in 2018.

North American Grain/Oilseed Review: Canola rises with soyoil

12/5/2018

0 Comments

 

By Phil Franz-Warkentin, Commodity News Service Canada

Winnipeg, Dec. 4 (CNS Canada) – ICE Futures canola contracts were stronger on Tuesday, taking some direction from the gains in Chicago Board of Trade soybeans and soyoil.

Speculative short covering and weakness in the Canadian dollar contributed to the firmer tone in canola, according to a broker.

However, losses in the outside equity markets and reduced optimism over the tentative trade truce between the United States and China put some pressure on values, with activity described as choppy and volatile.

The advances also encouraged some farmer selling, as producers look to empty bins and generate cash flow ahead of the New Year.

Statistics Canada releases its latest production estimates on Thursday, and pre-report positioning was a feature.

About 37,334 canola contracts traded, which compares with Monday when 24,661 contracts changed hands. Spreading accounted for 22,810 of the contracts traded.

SOYBEAN futures at the Chicago Board of Trade were up on Tuesday, seeing some follow-through buying interest after Monday’s gains.

Good demand from the domestic crush sector was supportive, with the October crush hitting a record of 182.95 million bushels.

Ideas that the latest truce between the United States and China would result in more export business remained supportive for beans as well.

However, the promises have yet to result in anything tangible which kept some caution in the market.

Rising South American production prospects also kept a lid on soybeans.

CORN futures were stronger on the day, as early profit-taking proved short-lived and the market managed to follow soybeans higher.

Usage from the U.S. ethanol sector was up in October compared to the previous month, but below the year-ago level, according to a report.

Ongoing concerns over the African swine fever in China and the possibility of reduced feed demand in the country put some pressure on values.

WHEAT futures were narrowly mixed, seeing some consolidation after recent gains.

Speculative profit-taking was a feature, with no real fresh news to provide direction.

While U.S. wheat is thought to be looking more competitively priced on the world market, the country continues to miss out on export business.

Canola Council Promotes Value Of Canola Meal To Dairy Industry

The Canola Council of Canada (CCC) is continuing to demonstrate the value of canola meal for dairy producers.

Gordon Speirs, a dairy manager at Shiloh Dairy in Wisconsin, participated in a recent on-farm trial where canola meal was fed at high inclusion rates.

“Canola contributes to cost-efficient production. We no longer have to source and store expeller soybean meal,” he said.

The Canola Council of Canada (CCC) conducted the on-farm trial with the help of GPS Dairy Consulting, a group of independent dairy nutritionists in Wisconsin. The purpose of the trial was to determine whether producers could increase efficiency by replacing multiple high-priced protein sources, such as animal protein blends and treated soybean meal, with canola meal while maintaining milk yield.

Two Wisconsin dairies volunteered to participate in the trial. The trial rations replaced animal protein and high-bypass soybean meal with canola meal and rumen-protected lysine.

Results from both dairies showed the following:

- The trial ration was comparable in price or less expensive;
- Their yield weight of milk, fat and protein increased – including a daily milk increase of nearly 2 litres per cow on farm one and 3.5 litres per cow on farm two; and
- The additional canola meal allowed them to streamline sourcing protein ingredients.

"Although the field trials were small, we are encouraged by the positive results, and will continue to research the uses of canola meal for dairy animals," says Brittany Dyck, canola meal manager with the CCC.
