Letter to Alberta Canola Growers

To my fellow Alberta Canola growers: As we look toward the upcoming Alberta Canola Annual General Meeting this January, I want to personally address an important decision we’re asking you to consider. We are asking you, the growers, to support a modest but necessary increase in the refundable canola service charge from $1.00/tonne to $1.75/tonne. We don’t make this ask lightly; the decision was made after very thorough analysis, including consultation with financial experts, forecasting five-year financial and production outlooks, and projecting various operating scenarios. Your Alberta Canola board — myself included — believes this increase is essential for Alberta Canola to continue our efforts to benefit all Albertan canola farmers. Alberta Canola has not raised its service charge since 2003. Over the past 20 years, every cost in our industry has surged, while public funds for research have plummeted and the pressure on the industry — from regulatory burden to consumer demands to

Chart: Improving Weather, US Dollar Strength Undermines Wheat

Improving weather for global crops and US dollar strength have been an unkind combination for wheat prices. As shown on the December Chicago futures chart below, wheat has suffered a particularly sharp downturn so far this week, trading below US$5.30/bu as of late afternoon Thursday. That is down almost 50 cents from earlier this month, and the lowest since late August. Already at a one-year high against other major world currencies, the American dollar was trading higher again today. The greenback has gotten most of its upward momentum from Donald Trump’s election win earlier this month, with Trump’s tariff plans widely expected to result in another flaring of inflation. Gains in the greenback on Wednesday, meanwhile, came on the heels of a Labor Department report showing the US inflation rate ticking higher in October compared to September. Rising inflation can also mean rising interest rates, which in turn drives up investor demand for the American currency, resulting in a str

CGC to Provide Full Compensation to Eligible Producers for Unpaid Deliveries to LSM Grain

Producers who were not paid for grain delivered to LSM Grain Ltd. will be fully compensated for their eligible claims. In a release Thursday, the Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) - which pulled the gain dealer licence of Saskatoon-based LSM back in July - said it determined there were 9 eligible claims totalling over $395,000 for unpaid grain deliveries. Producers with eligible claims will receive 100% compensation from the company’s $2-million security, the CGC said. However, the CGC said it also received 17 claims that could not be compensated because the deliveries fell outside of the 90-day eligibility period. “We are pleased to provide 100% compensation to producers with eligible claims. If producers are having difficulties getting paid, we encourage them to contact us immediately and we will do everything we can to help them through our Safeguards for Grain Farmers Program,” said David Hunt, Chief Commissioner, CGC. The CGC’s Safeguards for Grain Farmers Program regulates

Supporting Growers with Knowledge, Innovation and Genetics

FP Genetics brings a Western Canadian team approach to supporting growers with territory managers for Alberta, East Saskatchewan, West Saskatchewan / South East Alberta and Manitoba combining local on-the-ground knowledge and varietal expertise. We lead with deep research insights, giving Canadian farmers every potential advantage possible. As one of four territory managers, my role is to work closely with each grower, helping them find the optimal variety to match their unique field conditions and regional needs. When challenges arise, we’re on hand and committed to support. This approach empowers our growers to adapt and embrace changing conditions, maximize yields, and achieve long-term success season after season. With constantly changing weather and soil conditions, we know that each season presents new obstacles. This year, for instance, we saw an increase in standability concerns in all crop types. This was in part due to heavy moisture during critical growth stages. In cereals
