How to read this
Pushes prices up
Less supply, more demand, a weaker Canadian dollar or easier access to export markets.
Pushes prices down
Big crops, heavy harvest deliveries, higher freight, or a stronger Canadian dollar.
Mixed / costs
Could go either way depending on what happens next, or affects your costs rather than the price you're paid.
Futures reflect the world picture; your local price is futures plus basis, which reflects local supply, freight and the buyer's needs. A driver can move one without the other.
