Canadian farmers are facing an uncertain future after China escalated its feud over canola on Tuesday. China blocked canola shipments from a second Canada-based producer on Tuesday over alleged contamination issues. Canola grower David Reid checks on his storage bins full of last year's crop of canola seed on his farm near Cremona, Alta., on March 22, 2019. One canola farmer, David Reid, told The Canadian Press late last week that the reports of a purchasing block by China on Canadian canola will make him think about other options. “We’re very perplexed because we’re confident in the quality of our Canadian canola.” But China raised a technical concern and there needs to be a technical solution, he said.
