Farm Credit Canada is forecasting that crop prices will continue to remain strong for the rest of the marketing year.
“Some prices will ease off their recent highs, while canola, corn and soybean prices should increase,” the lender said in a market update earlier this month.
The FCC forecast for canola is $990 a tonne for this crop year and $920 for the 2022-23 crop year — a huge jump up from the five-year average of $490 a tonne.
