This aid will push US government payments to farmers in 2026 to $55.4 billion, based on USDA's earlier net farm income forecast with $8 billion added to it. The highest previous aid year was $45.6 billion in 2020, driven by trade aid and pandemic payments.

Chuck Penner explains how the monsoon shortfall makes India the market to watch for peas and lentils in the latest Pulse Market Insight https://t.co/MLRU2WP6mE #westcdnag @LeftFieldCR

[Chuck_Penner @LeftFieldCR]

@RyanBonnett1 Yup, all those Ottawa lentils.

[Chuck_Penner @LeftFieldCR]

Not going to say all AI data sources are bad, but...

Just saw a lg green lentil price at 80 cents/lb FOB Ottawa (??). And then that price got picked up and reported elsewhere, because that's the way the interweb works.

Call me old school, but I still prefer NI over AI

Wow. Looks like the US diesel crisis has just been solved.

Russia will “immediately” supply 300K tons — roughly 0.6 days of US consumption — plus another 500K tons in November, or about one day.

A “highly successful discussion,” indeed.

Now the more interesting question: what did the Kremlin get in return?

[Chuck_Penner @LeftFieldCR]

@mullewa_man Two different sources, StatsCan with a model-based yield and the province of Saskatchewan, using crop reporters.

Both down from last year, but better than the few before that.

[Chuck_Penner @LeftFieldCR]

Things are looking up.

But then again, seasonals...

[Chuck_Penner @LeftFieldCR]

@AllamFarmer I read that one province was one of the options back in 1905. Would have been called Buffalo.

[Chuck_Penner @LeftFieldCR]

Best August ever.

Demand rationing likely later in 26/27.

[Chuck_Penner @LeftFieldCR]

@spiga_dorata Different companies quote different quality and protein. Was just trying to show the price relationship, not focused on the actual price.

[Chuck_Penner @LeftFieldCR]

Our subscribers got this yesterday. Just thought I would throw this durum chart out there (for kicks).

[Chuck_Penner @LeftFieldCR]

@spiga_dorata I'm trying to make some sense of the numbers. Are collections the same as production?

[Chuck_Penner @LeftFieldCR]

Compared a couple of other slow harvest years with 26/27. Yeesh!

Interesting that 2016/17 was pretty close to average until late Sep and then literally went sideways.

Really need some warm dry days without heavy dew.

[Chuck_Penner @LeftFieldCR]

@TrentKlarenbach Same. My backspace button is almost worn out.

[Chuck_Penner @LeftFieldCR]

@SusanNOBULL And that would be shipped with all that excess rail and ocean capacity?

[Chuck_Penner @LeftFieldCR]

A lot thinner too

[Chuck_Penner @LeftFieldCR]

Much better looking than the real Chuck Penner

What happens when you’ve crossed off the only thing on your bucket list?

Asking for a friend.

[Chuck_Penner @LeftFieldCR]

@kidcorn1 @CornwallHeath Don’t forget who our PM was for most of the last 10 years, so…

Plus more incentive to diversify destinations.

[Chuck_Penner @LeftFieldCR]

So this week's CSCA conference in Halifax included an announcement about talks between Cda and China for a phyto agreement in lentil, chickpea and faba trade.

That's great, but can we include oats in those talks too @CornwallHeath ? Would be a big help.

[Chuck_Penner @LeftFieldCR]

@405farmer @CornwallHeath Sounded more hopeful this time, especially since it was announced in a speech by a Chinese official.
