Still watching the markets before finalizing your seeding plans? There are a number of factors affecting markets, and the challenge is filtering all the information, says provincial crop market analyst Neil Blue.
“Rather than being caught up in day-to-day market chatter, most producers deal with the cropping decisions by considering some basics in addition to their own estimates of comparative margins above direct-cropping expenses,” said Blue.
He recommends using a tool like AgriProfit$, which provides comparative cost and return forecasts for crops by Alberta soil zone.
The online tool can be found at agriculture.alberta.ca.
