What the Futures!

Are grain merchants starting to feel the pressure as Harvest 2026 gets underway?In Episode 143 of the What The Futures Podcast, Ryan breaks down some major developments happening across the Western Canadian grain market, including a significant weather event across the Prairies, harvest delays, grain quality concerns, changing basis levels and what it could mean for farmers and grain buyers.We also sit down with Cody McNernie from O&T Farms to discuss the flax market, pulse markets, specialty crop purchasing, forward contracting and the relationship between farmers and processors. Cody explains how O&T Farms works directly with Prairie farmers to source flax and pulses for its value-added feed ingredient business.Later, Brian Comeault from Canadian Agriculture Markets joins the show to break down the latest StatsCan grain stocks and supply-and-demand numbers, including surprisingly tight canola ending stocks, heavier supplies of some pulse crops and what the data could mean for grain prices heading into the coming months.Brian also shares his outlook on a potential grain market correction, why farmers should expect corrections rather than fear them, and why the fundamentals could still look promising heading into late winter and spring 2027.🌾 In This Episode:00:00 Harvest 2026 Grain Market Update08:39 Cody McNerney Joins the Show | Flax & Pulse Markets12:15 How Processors Buy Directly From Farmers15:51 Why Forward Contracting Flax Is Becoming More Popular18:29 Flax Varieties & What Processors Are Looking For22:08 Flax & Pulse Price Outlook25:27 Crop Marketing Made Cool Conference & Farmer Opportunity37:40 Grain Merchants Are Back on the Ropes?41:04 Should Farmers Hold Their Best Quality Grain?42:26 Third-Party Grain Grading & Harvest Quality46:37 Brian Comeau Joins the Show | Harvest & StatsCan51:36 Durum, Wheat Premiums & Farmer Negotiating Power54:53 StatsCan Grain Stocks: What Stands Out?55:41 Tight Canola Stocks & the Canola Market Outlook58:25 Lentils, Peas & Oats: What's the Outlook?59:59 U.S. Drought, Winter Wheat & Bullish Market Factors1:02:22 Is a Grain Market Correction Coming?1:08:21 Yellow Peas, Wheat & Durum Prices Moving Higher1:10:11 Grain Discounts, Quality & Negotiating With Buyers1:12:36 Final Thoughts: Stay Sharp This HarvestIf you're a Canadian grain farmer, Prairie producer or agricultural professional, this episode covers some of the biggest issues facing grain producers right now — from canola prices and wheat markets to grain quality, basis, StatsCan stocks, harvest delays and crop marketing strategy.Topics Covered:- Canola prices and ending stocks- Wheat prices and spring wheat premiums- Durum prices and grain demand- Yellow peas and lentil markets- Flax prices and specialty crops- Grain merchant demand- Harvest 2026 weather challenges- Grain quality and third-party grading- StatsCan grain stocks- Grain basis and negotiating better prices- Forward contracting- Grain marketing strategy- Potential market corrections- 2027 grain market outlookAre farmers gaining leverage over grain merchants?

Folks, just a friendly reminder to check in on your farming neighbors, family members and friends. For many, 2023 was a challenging year, and crops were less than spectacular. Now we add crop markets that have been relentless in a pursuit to find market bottoms and floors. It can be heavy and it's definitely been stressful. Take a moment, call your farming friends, head out for coffee or a beverage. Head to the curling rink and toss some rocks, maybe shoot some skeet. Whatever puts a smile on your face for the day.  Episode #15 is brought to you by John Deere and was recorded at the Farming Smarter Conference in Lethbridge, AB apologies for the sound.  Check out www.agi3.ai "You're not average so your crop protection shouldn't treat you that way." No special guests this week, so look for double trouble next week along with a special episode with Christi from Rebellion Farms.  This week's hot topic: 1) Wheat wow did that get ugly in a hurry 2) Please don't give your grain away for free Ag Headlines 1) USDA outlook numbers 2) Okanagan gets cold, fill your cellar's  Mailbag Segment brought to you by Pioneer Seeds, Tower Farms.

Plenty of nonsense as Ryan attempts his first LPC episode! Predictions and crop rankings are tough and sometimes a bit silly. Have a listen and reach out to the show on what you agree or disagree with. Lot's can change here, but I may be high on some of my already low crop price predictions.  Thanks to show sponsor John Deere, always a treat seeing the new equipment in the booth. 

Ryan kicks off episode #10 by talking about the wonderful flu bug that wrecked his entire week and delayed the release of today's episode. After two weeks away, there was plenty of positive moments to pick from for positive Friday, but Finn's 1st birthday definitely takes the cake. Ryan will be in Brandon for Manitoba Ag Days next week, come see me at the Agi3 booth and we are hosting a beer night at Black Wheat Brewery powered by Agi3 and the What the Futures Podcast. Tickets Here: Black Wheat Brewery Event  The episode turns more serious, as Ryan talks about Agfinity and the story behind slow payments to Western Canadian farmers. For headlines Ryan covers Brazil weather, USDA reports, slow Canadian canola exports and the increased farmer selling happening across the Prairie provinces.  For market moves, Ryan encourages you to NOT lose focus on marketing your 2024 crop. Look at some of the offers on specialty crops like green/yellow/maple peas, lentils, and oats. For old crop, take a look at spring wheat which is hovering at techinical support levels, but could break support and leak lower with other markets.    This episode is brought to you by John Deere.
