By Amy Jo Ehman November 18, 2016

Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day. This may come as a surprise, given my penchant for experimenting in the kitchen.

Chicago oats rally with Prairie rains, for now

By GFM Network News July 13, 2016

CNS Canada — Oat prices at the Chicago Board of Trade have advanced as rain soaks Canada’s crops, but one U.S. analyst doesn’t expect those gains to hold.

Oats’ buyers, sellers far apart on price

By GFM Network News March 10, 2016

CNS Canada — Farmers with oats to sell and end-users willing to buy them are far apart in terms of price right now, limiting how much business is actually taking place.

Oats steady and low, but price-wise the worst is over

Manitoba’s oat market is sitting low and stagnant, but since the commodity traditionally tracks corn futures, prices aren’t likely to depreciate further, says a U.S. analyst. “I think Manitoba farmers were expecting a lot better and Saskatchewan farmers were expecting a lot worse, but really when the combines got in the field—you know everything was […] Read more
