Mitch Miller has joined the DTN team as the DTN Contributing Canadian Grains Analyst following a long career in the grain and oilseed sector in south-central Manitoba, Canada. He jokes that he has been a primary producer for almost 40 years by necessity but a market analyst and strategist throughout that by passion.
A bachelor's degree in ag economics from the University of Manitoba initiated a lifelong focus on all things management and marketing. Although the decision was made to downsize the farm significantly in 2019, he proudly claims to still have enough acres to seed and cows to feed to remain grounded.
Too young to quit being productive, he hopes to share some of his experience and insight with readers to help with one of the most challenging tasks on the farm -- marketing the production successfully. A six-year span as a commodity broker and a lifelong career involved in the cash market should provide a unique balance from which to draw.
In an attempt to be transparent, he explains his approach to market analysis. Looking for clues from fundamental analysis, technical analysis and from the market participants themselves through the Commitment of Trader reports, a theory on price direction is developed. The more clues supporting the theory, the more confidence in it. That in turn influences the development of a successful marketing strategy. Through this role, he hopes to be able to share those clues as they are identified on an ongoing basis.The price you pay for record-high values is the anxiety and volatility that inevitably goes with them. That is one situation where technical analysis helped immensely.

With ending stocks in world exporting countries at multi-year low levels, thanks to increased domestic use amid lower production, prices should find solid underlying support.
The surprise moves by China to pick now to retaliate against tariffs announced six months ago by the Trudeau government brings up as many questions about the timing and motivation as it does about the impact.
With it becoming increasingly clear that there is nothing Canada do to alter tariff decisions made by U.S. President Trump, it may be time to identify alternatives for unwanted exports.
Soybean oil exports for 2024-25 are almost certainly going to be revised higher given that total commitments in the first five months of the marketing year now exceed USDA's annual projection.
Not only did the 2025-26 soybean ending stocks estimate come in lower than expected, but it was based on questionable yield assumptions. More realistic yields could be quite problematic.
It appears that optimism about the new United States administration's potential is being replaced by anxiety about unintended consequences of the speed at which changes are being introduced.
Feed grain consumers in Western Canada will take no comfort in Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's February update with cuts in feed use needed across the board.
Hotter-than-expected January CPI and PPI data suggest the inflation relief seen during the last few years is over and the recent turn higher is eerily similar to what occurred in the 1970s.
The price you pay for record high values is the anxiety and volatility that inevitably goes with them. That is one situation where technical analysis helps, so let's have a look.

Some in the industry point to the rapid expansion of the money manager net-long position as a sign that the move in corn is already close to the end, after barely starting. That clearly may not be the case.
With a third of the U.S. marketing year in the rear-view mirror, corn exports to Canada are a fraction of historical levels. Will it even be possible to reach USDA's current estimate of Canadian corn imports?
