Listen to more commentary from Shaun Haney:
Thurs Oct 16: The big question heading into 2026 is how much canola to seed. With China’s 76 per cent tariff still in place, the risk of building heavy stocks is real, and no other market can fully make up for the lost demand. That uncertainty is casting a long shadow over planting plans.

Tues Oct 14: For Saskatchewan farmers, the big question is who gets to own the land. With many farms preparing for generational transfer and margins tight in the grain sector, the rules around land ownership could shape both prices and control for years to come. That’s why the province has struck a new Farm Land Ownership Advisory Committee to gather feedback this fall.
