It's raining bricks, and I'm working on my books, so here's a nice canola field from last week. :)

#China has stopped purchasing US soybeans for over 5 months. China just LIFTED #tariffs on #Canadian #canola for the first time since 2018. China also agreed to NEW #oil deals with #Canada, paying MORE for the stability our market represents, over the literal piracy of #America 's. 🇨🇦

A new #trade agreement between Canada and China reduces tariffs on Canadian #canola seed from 84% to 15% and removes the 100% tariff on canola meal until the end of 2026.
While restoring market access for Canadian farmers, the move intensifies competition for Australian canola and canola meal #exports.
Analysts note that Canada’s large crop and ample #supply could challenge Australia’s market share in China and impact pricing in Europe, reshaping #global canola trade flows and export strategies.
