Manitoba's 2026 crop insurance prices were released at Ag Days in Brandon, with canola at C$14.74, hard red spring wheat at C$7.89, barley at C$4.57 and oats at C$3.93 per bushel. Most prices came in higher than observers expected, while peas came in lower.
Higher insured prices raise coverage levels and can support planted area and farm income. The effect on market prices is modest, since the insured values are set by a federal forecast rather than by the market.
After 303 past report events, Oats moved a median -0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -2.9% to +3.4%), and -0.3% over 20.
