Saskatchewan leaders are urging swift federal action after China slapped steep anti-dumping duties on Canadian canola, threatening one of the province’s most important industries.

The report said 64% of major crops were rated good to excellent as of Tuesday, holding steady from last week and well above the five- and 10-year averages of 50% and 55%. The Central Reg
