Canola supplies could be tight by the end of the 2014-15 crop year, depending on who you believe. On one hand, Statistics Canada last week pegged 2014 canola production at 15.6 million tonnes.

Filmed at Farm Forum in Saskatoon, they discuss what they’re expecting for canola prices heading into the 2015 growing season, how export and domestic demand so far compares with previous years and concerns about the validity of StatsCan crop estimates:
