Over the past couple of years, western Canadian agriculture has seen numerous challenges. In 2006, the cost/price squeeze is expected to intensify. Grain and oilseed prices are near historic lows. Fuel, fertilizer and other input costs are projected to keep rising. Industry observers are pointing to an unprecedented cash crunch for crop farmers.

How will farmers respond in 2006?

• What will happen to their crop rotations?
• Will they adjust by reducing inputs?
• What other changes can be expected?

If the media reports are to be believed, the farm sector will see some monumental changes. This uncertainty could cause significant difficulties, not only for farmers, but also the businesses that serve the industry.
 

Businesses need reliable information and forecasts to adjust effectively to shifts in farmers’ production practices. Informa Economics is responding to this need with a Crop Production Intentions Multi-Client Study – a comprehensive study of farmers’ expectations for the coming year. This syndicated study provides value to participants by providing the benefits of a comprehensive study at a fraction of the cost.
