Feed Pea Benchmark Report Jun 22/19

Grain prices have remained very strong across the prairies given drought conditions in the prairies and significant moisture in the Midwest. There has been rain in key parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan to relieve some pressure on pricing, but that is being counteracted by futures prices increasing today. Proteins have moved up the last couple weeks due to a combination of increasing futures prices and greater demand then expected for DDGS with beef packers dragging contracts and more cattle in lots. Feed peas have continued to bring values to rations at delivered prices of approximately $260-265 Red Deer, $255-260 Saskatoon area, with slightly higher prices in Manitoba.

 

AB: $348

SK: $333

MB: $316

Syngenta Ag Stories - Robyn McKee, Government and Industry Relations Manager.

You don't need to grow up on a farm to build a career in Canadian agriculture. Robyn grew up in Richmond, Ontario - not on a farm, but in a community shaped by them.

Now she works at the intersection of policy, innovation, and the people who grow our food. Her drive? Making sure the right people understand what Canadian agriculture needs to thrive.

Her message to the next generation: "Agriculture today is full of possibilities - science, technology, business, communications, and policy. You're helping grow the food we eat, and it's hard to think of many things more impactful than that."
