An oilseed market analyst is skeptical about Statistics Canada canola stock estimates released last week.

The federal agency, based on information gathered in surveys from farmers and the grain trade, pegged canola stocks at 6.6 million tonnes.

It was down 23 percent from the same time one year ago and the lowest springtime mark since 2013.

Cliff Jamieson of DTN The Progressive Farmer says nobody knows the real numbers, but the market is saying that it is not as bullish as the numbers would indicate.
