Canola has been ‘ground zero’ for experiencing the impacts of all the various areas of policy turmoil in grain markets, including tariffs and biofuels. When combined with a return to better yields in western Canada, the effect is a market that is facing a great deal of uncertainty, amidst price pressure across the grain complex as a whole. This session will walk through risks, possible reasons for some optimism, and things to consider as farmers make marketing decisions for canola and other crops.
