Canadian Soybean Stocks Down, Corn Up From 2015

Canadian wheat, canola and soybean stocks are down from a year ago.

Statscan says wheat stocks were down almost 24 per cent on March 1st, soybeans down just over 15 per cent and canola down just over 10 per cent.

Soybean stocks fell despite an over 3 per cent increase in Canadian soybean production in 2015.

On the other side of the ledger, corn for grain stocks were up over 23 per cent while barley stocks were up just over 12 per cent and oats up over 9 per cent from March 1st of 2015.

The numbers agency says the larger crop of corn for grain in 2015 pushed up those stock numbers.
