US #wheat is finally starting to price in freeze risk on April 18. We had that story on our radar well before today’s move. We flagged it for clients (sizov.report/?utm_source=tw…) when wheat was still 30 cents lower. Now the market is catching up. A close above 6.50 would be a constructive signal for the bulls. #oatt #sizovreport

🇫🇷Corn area in France could fall 10-15% on the year amid high fertilizer and energy costs. France's annual corn plantings are only about 4% of what the USA plants, but it plays an important role regionally, accounting for around one-fifth of EU's corn production.

All new costs are handed up to the consumer or down to farmer/producer. Trucking margins are too tight to absorb fuel price increases. Consumers can make choices that will send market signals throughout the chain. Retail and wholesale won’t absorb new costs as these are high volume-low margin operations. Food processors have little wiggle room on sudden-new costs. Typically new costs belong to farmers/producers who can’t pass the these on and this includes farm fuels and fertilizer. Farmers have to compete on global replacement prices. That is why we are seeing foreign beef imports from lower-cost regions showing up in Canada right now.

According to reports this morning, some grocery chains are rejecting fuel surcharges—Sobeys is one of them. It’s still unclear where Loblaw and Metro stand.

Reuters: #Wheat is up on the combination of technical signals and weather issues," said Sizov of Sovecon. "The market seems to start to react to freeze risk in US winter wheat states on April 18." Worries over crop damage to U.S. wheat have tempered price pressure from ample global wheat supplies and broadly favourable growing conditions elsewhere in the northern hemisphere. #oatt #agwx

🌾Drought coverage in U.S. winter wheat country was unchanged on the week at 68% - near 2022's weekly record. But the acceleration is more concerning, setting 2026 apart from the rest. Coverage has risen 26 percentage points since late Jan, the period’s largest jump on record.

The good news: India’s massive #urea tender drew plenty of offers. The bad news: prices are 2x pre-war levels. #oatt #oott

A look at today's NOLA urea price vs history. Today's high price (fallen back slightly in later trade) is still well below the 2008 and 2022 high water marks...but farmers are getting destroyed with current corn values WELL below. Why we preach inputs and outputs for marketing.

@rhofford On that note, have you ever considered the grey soils of Northern Ontario? Not kidding. 20 inches of rain, more growing degrees and frost-free. Has some highway and rail issues, but worth a thought. Mostly not farmed in the past century. Just an idea.

CBC investigation found some grocers selling meat where packaging was included in the weight, meaning consumers paid more than they should. This problem is not new. But it's a problem... The fix isn’t just the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. This is fundamentally a measurement issue → Measurement Canada...

July CBOT #wheat is back at $6, and the April 7 gap is back in focus. Interesting that wheat keeps ignoring crude (for now). #oatt

NOLA urea values are up this morning. 11% higher than COB Thursday (Friday was dead) on heavy trade. Hearing rumors the tons are being purchased for export given NOLA's "cheap" price (would not be surprised if heading for India). TALK TO YOUR SUPPLIER. #dontshootthemessenger
