The end is in sight for most of Manitoba's producers, and with a warm week ahead, most meaningful crops could be off the fields by Friday.

“It's a relief to see as much canola disappearing from Canada as has been, and that is kind of driving a price rally at this time."

"We expected a big crop and we saw a big crop."

Canadian canola prices have soared to the highest in nearly two years, despite a diplomatic dispute between Ottawa and Beijing, as exporters find roundabout ways to reach top oilseed buyer China.

A Manitoba farmer says he's looking at thousands of dollars in damage after someone appears to have driven a vehicle through his canola field over the long weekend.

Many farmers in Alberta are facing another difficult harvest: hail has battered crops and fields across the province look more like lakes than farm land.

"To be quite honest, if southern Alberta gets one inch of rain it probably could add up to $20 million in crop production." 

The federal government is helping finance an innovative, new agricultural production plant in Winnipeg that turns peas and canola into protein powders for the food industry.

Some Alberta farmers are seeding and hoping the rain stays away, while others are still just trying to get last year's crop off.

From dealing with weather to trade disputes and rail blockades, farmers in Saskatchewan have had a difficult year.
