ICE Close: CN Rail Settlement Fails to Rally Canola

Canola futures settled lower on Tuesday, despite a tentative agreement in the week-long CN Rail strike.

Video: 360,000 Hectares of Farming, Robots, Crop Planes & Cotton Factories


We visit an extraordinary farming operation covering 360,000 hectares, showcasing just how advanced and large-scale modern agriculture can be.

From robotic sprayers and plane-based crop spraying, to autonomous Horsch seeders and advanced weather monitoring systems, this farm demonstrates how technology is transforming efficiency and decision-making across vast acreages.

We explore the diversity of production, including peanuts, cotton and cattle, alongside refrigerated seed storage and on-site cotton processing facilities where fibre is cleaned, tested and prepared for market. We also see how logistics such as refuelling, refilling and machinery management are organised to keep operations running smoothly at this scale.

With virtual agronomy tools, precision equipment and autonomous machinery working together, this is a fascinating insight into how some of the world’s largest farms operate.
