When I think about where do we fit in as a company, it's things like investment in the future.

BrianHOST
All right, let's get right into what happened in markets today.
BrianHOST
Canola was down $2.60 to $7.8310. Minneapolis wheat was up four and three quarter cents to six and a quarter.
BrianHOST
Actually, we saw all of the wheat markets up today.
BrianHOST
Kansas wheat was up two and a quarter to 645 and a quarter.
Bob NixonGUEST
So, it's just brilliant for the district and for everyone's own businesses to be back in a really good run of seasons.
Bob NixonGUEST
Canola, obviously, we spoke about, that's been a bit of a game changer.
Bob NixonGUEST
And the big thing that everyone's concerned about now is obviously, you know, the cost of imports, the cost of machinery.
Bob NixonGUEST
While it's raining, it's fine, but now with how high break-even yields are becoming and how high costs are, there's still that ongoing concern.
Stephen CarterGUEST
Yeah, we're expecting that the cereals are going to, the wheat and the barley will be pretty good.
Stephen CarterGUEST
And the canola's...
Stephen CarterGUEST
I mean, Canola is what it is, but I think it's, yeah, we're still pretty happy with the way it's going for sure.
Belinda VarischettiHOST
Zantipi farmer Stephen Carter, he was speaking to Joe Prendergast.
Belinda VarischettiHOST
And we'll head to the Bureau of Meteorology just after half past 12 after the news headlines today just to check those conditions across the state and see if there are any more thunderstorms occurring.
James FryGUEST
We still have some spring wheat, oats, and barley out there, about 2% of the crop out there.
James FryGUEST
Canola and soybeans, a little more, about 5% of that crop yet to come in.
James FryGUEST
And as I mentioned, corn silage is still ongoing with about 25% of the harvest remaining.
James FryGUEST
So we did get a bit of snow here overnight, but that should melt away.
James FryGUEST
Another issue that we saw was that some of the moisture that arrived closer to harvest resulted in some sprouting issues, so we've seen a higher percentage of wheat that has been docked for feed grade.
James FryGUEST
That would be similar for barley and oats as well.
James FryGUEST
Canola is always a challenging crop in the best of years with insect pressure and so on, but particularly in late seeded areas where the germination was delayed and where there was high moisture and some excess weediness and uneven crop stand, we saw an average to below average yield of maybe in that 25 to 35 bushel range.
James FryGUEST
Soybeans, on the other hand, has been a good success story for the season and generally good with above average yields of 35 to 45 bushels.
Dennis BulaniGUEST
If we do use selective breeding and one of the tools is genetic modification, we can actually breed crops that that need less pesticide.
Dennis BulaniGUEST
And a good example is canola.
Dennis BulaniGUEST
Canola is a genetically modified crop that I grow on my farm.
Dennis BulaniGUEST
Next year is my canola year.
Dennis BulaniGUEST
And I can use Roundup or glyphosate once a year and kill all the weeds because the canola has been genetically modified to be tolerant to glyphosate.
10 MINS LATER
Dennis BulaniGUEST
canola oil? Well, let me tell you this.
Dennis BulaniGUEST
First of all, canola oil, one of the biggest myths is canola oil contains all these toxins.
Dennis BulaniGUEST
Canola oil is simply canola seeds ground up, passed through a filter.
Monty ReichGUEST
Yeah, I think that's a good question.
Monty ReichGUEST
I think that, you know, as we continue to move forward with value-add projects, continuing to look at them, you know, where those projects make the most sense, whether it's, yeah, Flax and Weyburn or Durham and Swift Current or Canola and Yorkton or Regina, I think it's important that we continue to look for these avenues and Look for avenues to improve, you know, even the financial constraints on farms.
Monty ReichGUEST
I think the more value add, the more money that we can put in farmers' pockets, the better.
Evan BrayHOST
I'm looking at the text line.
Jade EganCORRESPONDENT
Most definitely.
Jade EganCORRESPONDENT
So canola, do you think that will go first?
Craig HendersonGUEST
Canola will be first and then probably wheat.
Craig HendersonGUEST
People will be getting their cash flow out of those.
Craig HendersonGUEST
They'll be assessing their position.
Lyndsey SmithHOST
And he is a regular feature on some of our Crop School episodes.
Lyndsey SmithHOST
So he'll be featured in the Pulse School and in the Canola School.
Lyndsey SmithHOST
Really just wonderful to have Mike on to talk about all things agronomic, especially for that part of Saskatchewan.
Lyndsey SmithHOST
It is just when you're dealing with super dry conditions, there are just so many different things you have to think about.
Amber BellCORRESPONDENT
sulfur.
Amber BellCORRESPONDENT
