New Canadian Facility to Focus on the Production of Parent Canola and Soybean Seeds

DuPont Pioneer - a world leader in plant genetics, held a grand opening of its new $15 million parent seed facility near Wingham, Ontario on Thursday. DuPont Pioneer is making strides to continue to meet the needs of farmers and the opening of this new facility is an indication of the investment that the company is making in the Canadian market.

The production facility is 50,000 square feet and is home to a cold storage warehouse, automated seed cleaning, and a dense-phase pneumatic seed conveying system. The new facility will specialise in parent canola and soybean seeds. The plant has been a few years in the making and the building of the facility began in 2010. The products produced at the plant will most likely be sold throughout Western Canada and South American markets.

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.
