Anyone plowing with autosteer/gps?

Here’s What’s New in the 2026 Census of Agriculture

Statistics Canada just gave producers an early look at the 2026 Census of Agriculture — and it’s got some timely updates that speak directly to the realities of farming today. The questionnaire keeps much of the core content from 2021, allowing for long-term trend tracking, but it also gets a refresh in areas that matter to today’s ag landscape. Expect more detailed questions about environmental stewardship, new technologies on the farm, and emerging crop and livestock categories. Here’s What’s In It for You: New Crop & Livestock Categories: Got something unique in the ground or the barn? There are new commodity categories designed to reflect what’s really happening on modern farms — including niche and emerging products. Environmental Practices Front and Centre: The census now digs deeper into sustainability practices, giving you the opportunity to show how your operation contributes to soil health, water conservation, carbon reduction, and more. Tech & Renewables: If you’ve adopte

Canola Slips Across the Board as Market Momentum Fades

Canola futures pulled back on Wednesday, posting steady losses across all active contracts. The November 2025 contract led the slide, falling by $5.70 to close at $696.60 per tonne—dipping below the psychologically significant $700 level. Nearby months followed suit, with January 2026 down $5.00 at $707.50 and March 2026 slipping $5.10 to $715.10. The softness extended into the deferred months as well, with May, July, and even November 2026 futures each shedding more than $5.00 per tonne. This broad-based decline signals a lack of short-term buying interest and ongoing pressure from weaker oilseed markets, particularly in soy and palm oil. Technical selling may also be playing a role, as key support levels were tested or breached. Overall, today’s action reflects a market struggling to find upward momentum amid global demand uncertainty and harvest pressure in some regions. Traders will be watching weather developments and export data closely, but for now, the tone remains bearish.

Wheat Wilts, Corn Holds, and Soybeans Stumble in Mixed Market Day

Grains traded in mixed fashion today, with wheat and soybeans under pressure while corn eked out modest gains. The most notable weakness came from Chicago Wheat, where futures declined across the board. The front-month September 2025 contract slipped 6 cents to $5.23 3/4 per bushel, and losses extended steadily through to December 2026, which closed at $6.12 per bushel. The bearish tone in wheat continues to reflect stiff global competition and sluggish export demand, keeping the complex pinned near recent lows. Soybeans took the biggest hit of the day, with losses ranging from 11 1/2 to 14 cents per bushel. August 2025 soybeans dropped 14 cents to $9.67 3/4, while new-crop November 2025 fell to $9.95 3/4, marking a dip below the psychologically important $10 mark. Broad-based weakness in vegetable oil markets and concerns over export demand—particularly with shifting trade patterns and tariff uncertainty—pressured the oilseed complex. Corn, on the other hand, managed to stay afloat.

Canola Council of Canada launches refreshed strategic framework

Today, the Canola Council of Canada’s (CCC) released a refreshed strategic framework, Canola Forward: A Strategic Framework for 2025 – 2030, which builds on the organization’s strong foundation and sets out a clear and renewed focus designed to help Canada’s canola industry thrive in fast-changing domestic and international environments. The framework was developed in collaboration with members and stakeholders from across the canola value chain and beyond. It sharpens the CCC’s focus on areas of critical importance for the industry – with a focus on volume, value and members. The CCC is prioritizing enabling innovation, advancing market access and amplifying the value of Canadian canola, inclusive of a growing opportunity for canola not just as food and feed, but also as fuel. “This framework builds on the strong foundation that has made Canadian canola a global leader,” said Chris Davison, president & CEO of the CCC. “It is focused on priorities identified by the Canadian canola in
