KAP Hosts Mental Health Webinar

A webinar on mental health was hosted Friday by Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP).

 

Kim Hyndman-Moffat works for Canadian Suicide Prevention Services.

 

"COVID-19 has placed a lot of pressure on the cattle industry, it disrupted the supply chain, resulting in the backlog that we're all hearing about. Lower cattle prices, so there's a lot of folks concerned about that. I've heard different ones talking about the difficulties recruiting Temporary Foreign Workers because of COVID-19. Conditions that were dry to begin with, and then they turned to overland flooding over a course of a couple of days, that's set back a lot of producers too."

 

She says farming is one of most stressful jobs out there.

Video: USDA Feb Crop Report a WIN for Soybeans + 1 Year Trade Truce Extension

USDA took Trumps comments that China would buy more U.S. soybeans seriously and headline news that the U.S./China trade truce would be extended when Trump/Xi meet in the first week of April was a BIG WIN for soybeans this week! 2026 “Mini” U.S. ethanol boom thanks to 45Z + China’s ban of phosphates from Feb. – August of 2026 will not help lower fertilizer prices anytime soon! 30 mmt of Chinese corn harvest is of poor quality and maybe a technical breakout in wheat futures.

*Apologies! Where we talk about the latest CFTC update as of 10th Feb 2026, managed money funds covered their net short position in canola to the tune of +42,746 week-on-week to flip to net long 145 contracts and not (as we mistakenly said) +90,009 wk/wk to 47,408.
