Canola Falls Back

Dec 24, 2020

Profit taking and liquidation of the soon-to-expire January contract sent canola futures lower on Wednesday.

With the holidays fast approaching, traders decided to take some money off the table with the market rallying its highest since 2013. Markets will close early at noon Central Time on Thursday for Christmas Eve and will reopen again on Dec. 29. Strength in the Canadian dollar added to the pressure on canola.

A trader noted that the cash market remains strong with canola at C$14/bu at several locations across the Prairies.

Statistics Canada today reported the November canola crush at 917,992 tonnes, down from 931,060 tonnes in October. The federal agency also reported total grain deliveries in November of nearly 5.19 million tonnes, of which about 1.87 million tonnes was canola.

Video: Air Command Section Control for Pro-Force Spreaders

This patented section control system uses air to divert material on to different areas of the spinner disks for precise 4-section control, for an economical design by eliminating the need for added conveyor belts or movable spreader components. The section control uses the Raven RCM ISOBUS controller and a customer’s field boundary and coverage map to automatically turn off any of the four sections at any time to avoid applying valuable fertilizer in areas where it’s not needed.

This results in fertilizer savings which means more money in your pocket for a maximum Return On Investment. The powerful blower fan sends air through a 4-section manifold while the conveyor automatically speeds up or slows down as sections are turned on or off for consistent and precise fertilizer application.

• The revolutionary patented Air Command section control utilizes a pneumatic system to accurately place fertilizer onto the spinner disks to give you individualized 4-section control of your spread pattern.

• Pinpoint accuracy of four individual sections allows you to operate the system with ease. This robust design with few moving parts offers no gimmicks, just real-world results.

• The new Air Command section control option is available on pull-type models 2250 and 1850 with the new PTO drive system, and on 1450, 1250 and 1050 pull-type models with standard single hydraulics.

• Continue to do it all with the Unverferth pull-type Pro-Force Spreader. Use the Air Command section control for spreading fertilizer and in-seeding applications, while converting to single-section lime or litter application in a matter of minute
