Advantages of Leasing and Financing Used Construction Equipment

The significance of construction equipment to the relevant industrial sectors is immense and entrepreneurs associated with construction industry are aware of the ever-present value of these machineries. However, with time and situational financial limitations, equipment owners are advised to opt for leasing and financing of used construction equipment. Many have realized that leasing and financing of used construction equipment is considered as an effective risk management strategy that facilitates cash management advantages. Read below to know how:

Leasing can lead to improved and flexible cash management: Businessmen can improve and manage their money and cash-flow efficiently with the help of leasing without affecting their trading processes. Leasing of used construction equipment also helps them to keep the money at hand for other more essential trading purposes and for buying new equipment. The practice also leads to a more efficient, predictable and affordable paying system. Equipment owners who have faced economic downturn in previous years would surely appreciate this process for the financial flexibility it provides.

Reduce risks associated with assets: Leasing and financing of used construction equipment can lead to reduced risks associated with managing assets and their financial value. For instance, the cost of maintenance of equipment is mitigated in this case as the owner opts for renting out of used machineries. This also saves time and business for trader who would have otherwise spent a fortune on his equipment devices. Renting out used construction equipment also ensures that the machines comply with the apt regulations.

Pulse Market Insight #288

Crop Prospects for 2026 This seems to be the time of year when there’s a flood of reports looking back at the past year or gazing ahead to the new year. While looking backward allows a person to gauge their grain marketing performance, hindsight generally doesn’t provide much help for making decisions about the upcoming year. In fact, every marketing year is different. Making next year’s decisions based on last year’s successes or failures can be counterproductive. After all, acreage will shift and while there are always hopes for big yields, the odds of record output happening again in 2026 are very unlikely. In addition, global trade will also change (hopefully for the better) and affect next year’s market prospects. This is also the time of year when we start thinking about farmers’ planting decisions for next spring. There are many factors going into those decisions, especially crop rotation considerations, but prices and profitability are also important. Typically, we use basic

Tariffs, policy changes and a record crop: APAS reflects on 2025

The President of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan (APAS) described 2025 as a busy one with no shortage of challenges and some good news sprinkled in. Bill Prybylski did a year-end interview with Ryan Young, host of SaskAgToday and Ag News Director of 620 CKRM. You can find the full interview on SaskAgToday.com under the unfiltered section.   Prybylski said tariffs from the United States, China, and India - three of Canada's major trading partners - was the number one issue for APAS in terms of resources used to understand the impact on farmers and lobbying efforts.   Currently, China has tariffs on Canadian canola oil, seed, meal, yellow peas, seafood and pork. The U.S. currently has tariffs on Canadian lumber, upholstered wood products, and any product non-compliant with the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). India has an import duty on yellow peas from all countries, including Canada. Canada has counter-tariffs on American steel, aluminium, and aut

Year-End Ag and Energy Markets Face Broad Commodity Pressure

Weekly market data for late 2025 shows year-end liquidation and global supply gluts pressuring soybeans, wheat, and crude oil, while gold reaches record highs.

China might start importing corn and wheat

What happens with the wheat market going forward largely depends on China, says an analyst. Canadian farmers harvested a record 40 million tonnes of wheat in 2025, including 29.3 million tonnes of spring wheat. The good news is that exports have been surpassing last year’s record pace so far in 2025-26. Chuck Penner, analyst with LeftField Commodity Research, thinks exports could hit a record 24 million tonnes, although it is still early days. The problem with this year’s wheat market is that there was record production by the top seven exporters. Minneapolis wheat futures have been relatively flat despite the global glut of the commodity, indicating that something is going on with the demand side of the ledger. Penner said China has not been getting enough attention. There are reports of significant quality losses with China’s corn and spring wheat crops. China’s farmers just finished harvest, and corn and wheat prices are already starting to rebound, suggesting that domestic s
