Farmers getting less of the food dollar despite higher grocery prices: study
“Our data continues to show a consistent story,” said president Bill Prybylski. “Food prices are rising, but the farmer’s share is actually shrinking.” WHY IT MATTERS: Food prices have escalated over the past year, but the APAS study shows the prices farmers earn from their commodities are not driving those increases. The report, which was released in June for 2024-25, actually showed a little bump in the farmer share of two products: retail pork and canola oil.

ICE Canada weekly: Prairie rains threaten canola harvest potential
Canadian farmers may have seeded record canola acres, but wet conditions across the Prairies raise the question — how much will actually be harvested? The percentage of canola that’s harvested is usually very close to the amount that was seeded, said Tony Tryhuk, director of futures trading for RBC Dominion Securities in Winnipeg. “Normally, you get harvested acres north of 99 per cent of planted acres. I don’t know if you’re going to get that this year,” Tryhuk said.
Feed Grain Weekly: Wet weather weighs on prices
“Too much water may not bode well for crops like some of the pulses that are growing or high-quality wheat, but it probably does mean a lot of feed crops this fall,” said Jim Beusekom, president of Market Place Commodities in Lethbridge, Alta. Prices for old crop feed barley and wheat were C$30/tonne higher at the start of June as the wet weather created the potential for more feed-quality grains to be harvested and weighed on values over the past month, Beusekom added.
U.S. economist recommends export reporting
Glacier FarmMedia — American farmers and the U.S. grain industry benefits from export sales reporting. Canadian farmers and Canada’s grain industry would also benefit from a similar program, said an agricultural economist from North Dakota.
