Some bad news for Prairie canola farmers and the industry as a whole.

Statistics Canada says production fell more than 35 percent this year to its lowest total since 2007.

The national canola crop is estimated at 12.6 million tonnes, with an average yield of 25 bushels an acre.

The heat and the dry conditions had the greatest effect in Saskatchewan, with an average canola yield of 22 bushels an acre.

The majority of all canola in Canada is grown across Alberta, Saskatchewan and right here in Manitoba.
