Glacier Farm Media | MarketsFarm – Intercontinental Exchange canola futures were higher on Friday morning, despite getting mixed spillover from outside markets.

The November canola contract edged below its 20- and 50-day moving averages, which were almost $1.50 apart.
The Prairie weather forecast called for rain over southern and central Alberta during the weekend, with the rest of the region to remain largely dry.
