Global grain giant Louis Dreyfus Corp, a Western Canadian canola crusher and grain handler, estimates the region’s canola area at 21.51 million acres in 2014/15, up 7 percent from a year ago.
Based on a return to normal yields, that area should result in a 16.7 million tonne crop, down nearly 9 percent, said Tracy Lussier, manager of canola trading at Louis Dreyfus, speaking at the Wild Oats Grainworld conference in Winnipeg.

From First Perspective:
Community, local and regional initiatives can often be lost in the larger dialogue of multinational corporations and the work they do.
The Canadian Council for Aboriginal Business hopes to change that by providing the opportunity for that dialogue to happen between big business and the entrepreneurial spirit of the First Nations people through a series of aboriginal business luncheons.
At a luncheon in Regina on March 5 at First Nations University, the keynote speaker will be Alex Archilla, asset president for BHP Billiton Potash, who, this past summer took charge of the $2.6-billion Jansen Project in the Treaty 4 Territory of Saskatchewan.
Jansen, the world’s best undeveloped potash resource, is capable of supporting a mine with capacity of 10 million tonnes a year for more than 50 years.
