The greatest impact is expected in Western Canada where the majority of Canada’s canola is produced
by BETTER FARMING STAFF
Recent U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approval for Canadian canola exports to the United States for biodiesel production will likely have the greatest impact in Western Canada.
James McKinlay, president of the Ontario Canola Growers Association said production from Ontario’s 65,000-acre canola crop goes mainly to the crush market for high-quality oil and for meal used in livestock feed.
“I think the majority of the Ontario crop will likely end up in the domestic crush just because of (high) quality and price,” he said, adding that off grade canolas historically are used more in biofuel production. He said Western producers have greater challenges with green seed and the potential for frost damage that downgrades the canola slightly.
