“Thursday’s WASDE saw another reshuffling of demand from USDA, taking another 20 mb out of the export program and moving it to domestic crush. The timing of another cut to export demand is interesting, considering that soybean commitments for 2025-26 are now running ahead of USDA’s estimated pace as of early June, though shipments had still been lagging. The crush adjustment is more than justified given the outstanding pace through April as well as record level margins. Overall, in my opinion the U.S. balance sheet from 2025-26 to 2026-27 continues to sit on the fence between a price neutral and price bullish situation, with reserves still expected to fall to 310 mb by next summer which is dependent on a record tying national average yield, stressing the significance weather will continue to play in trader bias moving forward. Of course, the wild card will be where actual planted acreage lands, to which we will receive a big clue on June 30,” said DTN Lead Analyst Rhett Montgomery.

CANOLA:

July canola closed down $7.50 at $757.20 and November canola closed at $765.90 down $7.10, closing lower with losses in the crude oil and soybean oil markets, with European rapeseed and Malaysian palm oil closed lower. Crude oil fell 3% today after President Trump said a peace deal was expected to be signed by Sunday.

Ontario crop report noted that as of June 10, “Spring canola is still being seeded in northern regions such as Temiskaming, North Bay and Manitoulin. Winter canola is at full bloom (eastern Ontario) to various stages of pod fill across the province. It is recommended to scout for Cabbage Seedpod Weevil, as it has been found above threshold in some winter canola fields.”

There were 20,039 July contracts traded and 35,685 November contracts traded.

Ontario crop report noted as of June 10 “Winter wheat has progressed to flowering across southern Ontario. Fields in lower heat unit regions are still in the early boot to heading stages with fields in northern Ontario in the stem elongation phase. Yield potential remains strong, with high head counts reported in fields. However, crop development is slightly accelerated in some regions, and if forecasted heat occurs it could impact the grain fill period.”

US Wheat Associates said in their weekly harvest report that “Harvest is underway for winter wheat classes, with HRW progress slowed by frequent rain across the southern and central Plains and SRW harvest expanding in southern states. Recent moisture has helped stabilize spring wheat and durum conditions in the Northern Plains, though crop ratings remain mixed and additional moisture will be needed in drier areas. Soft white wheat conditions in the Pacific Northwest remain mostly favorable as winter wheat advances toward maturity.” Here is a link to the report: https://uswheat.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/HR-260610.pdf

ONTARIO CROP REPORT

Crop progress across Ontario as of June 10 has advanced significantly over the past two weeks, noted the crop report. “Most regions are wrapping up planting and moving into early-season crop management. The majority of the province has received rain in the past week. Crops are generally progressing well. Variable emergence is evident in some heavy-textured soils where late May rainfall resulted in crusting and in other regions where dry soil conditions impacted emergence. Crop stages vary significantly depending on planting date and local weather, but development overall has accelerated with recent heat. Most growers are now focused on weed control, nitrogen application in corn, and monitoring disease and insect pressure in wheat and protecting yield potential.” Here is a link to the entire report: https://fieldcropnews.com/2026/06/ontario-crop-report-june-10-2026/
