Manitoba Ag Days Planning To Go Ahead In 2022

Aug 26, 2021

As it stands right now, the 2022 edition of Manitoba Ag Days is planning to go ahead at Brandon's Keystone Centre.

The event is scheduled to be held January 18th to the 20th.

General Manager Kristen Phillips has some advice for exhibitors.

"Registration will open September 1 and run until September 17, but we are encouraging everyone to register early this year," she said. "Because we're limited by space, we may have to make to tough decisions, so all registrations will be time stamped this year. The first come first serve basis will be in play."

Phillips says Ag Days will be scaled down somewhat in 2022 due to health restrictions. She notes they will only have one speaker theatre compared to usual two. The Innovation Showcase is also back on for 2022.

Organizers are working with Manitoba Health.

More details will follow in the weeks ahead.

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.
