Crop prices improving for agricultural sector by John E. Finlay Crop Prices Improving: For the last five years, grain and oilseed prices have been depressed as governments governments have either purchased grain and stored it or have given large subsidies in the form of deficiency payments. Over the last two years Canadian and provincial governments have also bçen subsidizing subsidizing Erop producers with the Special Grains Program and various stabilization programs, to protect farmers who are at the mercy of foreign treasuries. Recently the policies and economics have been changing. Demand Demand for oilseeds have increased sharply. Attempts are being made in Europe to control production levels to reduce stocks. In the United States, the Farm Bill has reduced corn and wheat acreage and diverted erodable cropland to grassland or reforestation. In the last month, a dry period in Brazil has reduced the supply of soyabeans soyabeans and furhter dry weather in the U.S. midwest has driven futures prices on soyabeans up by more than 20 percent. Stocks of wheat and corn have also been dropping, although they are still at high levels and act against any significant increase increase in grain prices. The drought in Western Canada, if it continues, will affect world wheat prices. The supply of barley and canola, which is grown in the cooler areas are not affected to the same extent. As farmers in southern Ontario shift to the more profitable soyabean crop, it may tend to increase the basis for Ontario corn. We see several fields of hay and winter'wheat that are thin from winterkill, being plowed up to be planted to. soyabeans. Even some land that has been abandoned for the past 2 or 3 years is being worked up this spring. This optimism for a more profitable profitable year is still at an early stage. Farmers should be aware of the trends and take some price protection, protection, if they cannot afford the risk of having prices drop back to the previous level. In addition, we also require the weather conditions to harvest in average or better crop in our own area. Carol chats with former classmates from Clarke.
