# USDA attaché differs with StatCan on 2026-27 canola crop - Grainews

> The USDA attaché in Ottawa projects Canada's 2026-27 canola crop at 20.11 million tonnes, above Statistics Canada's 19.20 million. The attaché also flags drought affecting 32% of Canada's farmland and fertilizer costs that could squeeze canola and wheat margins.

## Why it matters

A larger crop estimate implies more canola oil and meal supply, which is bearish for canola products if confirmed. Drought and fertilizer costs are offsetting risks that could reduce acres or yields.
