The canola harvest is winding down. Yield results vary widely due to weather conditions. Nuseed Field Sales Manager Trygg Olson, who is based in Carrington, says sunflowers are being desiccated. “The nice part about sunflowers is they’re a little more drought-tolerant, drought-hearty crops so even in dry weather, they do usually perform very well.” At a minimum, Olson expects 2024 canola and sunflower acreage to maintain current levels. “The canola is going to be pretty much normal with the contracts decent at this point. I haven’t seen any new crop ’24 sunflower contracts yet or heard pricing yet and that’ll be part of the driver.” Olson sees demand influenced by global factors, such as the ongoing Russian-Ukraine war.
