Canola Starts the Week in the Green

Canola futures started the week on a higher note, boosted by expectations of lower canola yields in some regions in Alberta due to wet growing conditions.
 
Strength in vegetable oils also supported canola prices. Malaysian palm oil gained strength from reports of lower stocks at the end of July while Chicago soyoil was higher based on expectations of continued export demand from China.
 
Strength in the Canadian dollar limited the upside for canola.
 
November canola gained $2.10 to $486.90, January was $2.60 higher at $493.90 and March added $3.60 to $499.30.

Video: Crop duster agplane flying action Conger Minnesota Air Tractor Bell 206 Jet Ranger Airailimages

It's summertime in Minnesota as a yellow Air Tractor agricultural application aircraft -- a crop duster -- responds to the control inputs of its pilot in a low-altitude dance just above the tops of the cornstalks. Enjoy! And we found a Bell 206 Long Ranger spray helicopter perched on a support truck at the edge of the cornfields, and launching from there. In our video, you can occasionally hear the rotor sounds of the crop-dusting helicopter as we see the yellow Air Tractor in a nearby field.
