Chart of the Week
Last week, StatsCan estimated flax stocks for the end of 2015/16 at 274,000 tonnes, up sharply from last year at 97,000 tonnes and the largest since 2009/10. While on-farm stocks were the majority, commercial inventories were much higher than normal for this time of year. While some concerns have been expressed about the old-crop quality, it will help offset a smaller 2016 crop.
