Canadian Oilseed Output SinksOTTAWA - Oct 5/06 - SNS -- Oilseed production in Canada will be down from last year as forecast gains in soybean production are swamped by declines in canola and flaxseed output in western Canada, according to the latest production estimates from Statistics Canada. Prairie farmers reported that they expect to harvest 8.4 million metric tons (MT) of canola, down 1.1 million MT from the 9.5 million MT harvested in 2005. Production should remain well above the 10-year average of 6.8 million MT. The anticipated decline is due to a drop in yield from an estimated 32.6 bushels per acre to 28.8 bushels per acre. Harvested area is expected to remain unchanged from 2005. Subscribers can read the full text of the article by Clicking here
