Futures Close Report: 21st April 2017

FranceAgriMer said on Friday that 85 percent of the French soft wheat crop was good to excellent in the week to April 17, down from 89 percent a week earlier in the second successive weekly decline.

Figures from StatsCan put Canadian plantings for Canola (OSR) at a record 22.4 million acres,  wheat plantings were forecast at 23.2 million acres slightly down (-0.1%) on last years figure.

Markets are concerned over some potential for EU crop damage due to frost over the coming week as weather forecast turns colder, with OSR possibly seen at the greatest risk.
