Producers across Western Canada weighed the impact of a 75.8% anti-dumping duty on canola imports and what it means for the season ahead.
On one Agriville.com forum, producers described the news as an unwelcome jolt during a critical stage of the season.
“This $1 per bushel drop today takes all the profit out of an average crop and turns a below-average crop into a loser,” one farmer said, adding that fertilizer bought earlier in the year now looks far less economical.
