While Manitoba's crop production figures were up, Prairie levels declined from last year's record totals, the federal agency said. Spring wheat production on the Prairies is expected to be slightly higher at 18.8 million tonnes, but durum wheat production is expected to fall 40 per cent to 3.5 million tonnes. Manitoba field pea production should rebound 37.1 per cent to 85,700 tonnes, but that's still considerably less than the province's 10-year average of 147,200 tonnes. In Manitoba, barley production should jump 80 per cent from 2005 levels to 1.2 million tonnes, while oats production is expected to soar to 975,600 tonnes, up 121.4 per cent.
If you're looking for evidence that the CWB adds value for farmers, you need look no further than this year's numbers," said wheat board chairman Larry Hill, a Saskatchewan farmer, who joined [Ian White] at the year-end news conference. number of tonnes of wheat exported last year. Canada also exported 3.1 million tonnes of durum (52% of global trade), 1.6 million tonnes of feed barley and 1.3 million tonnes of malt barley. number of tonnes of wheat the CWB expects Western Canada to produce this year. Durum production is estimated at 5.2 million tonnes and barley production is projected to be 10.1 million tonnes

In the first major forecast of the size of the Prairie crop, the wheat board projects total production of wheat and durum wheat at 23.6 million tonnes this year. Conditions are looking very good, and I would say crop potential is excellent," said Bruce Burnett, the wheat board's director of weather and crop surveillance. Meanwhile, the wheat board forecasts that the Prairie barley crop will be 10.5 million tonnes, slightly above the five-year average of 10.3 million tonnes, but down significantly from last year's 11.7 million tonnes. The area seeded to barley this year is down about six per cent from last year.
The wheat board's best guess at this year's Prairie wheat yield, assuming normal weather from here on out, is 34.3 bushels per acre, 1.5 bushels less than it projected at this time last year, [Bruce Burnett] said. If we reach the last weeks in June with the current type of (warm weather) deficits that we've had, we'll be pushing the harvest past Labour Day in most of the main growing areas, especially in northern and central areas of Saskatchewan and Alberta," Burnett said. The wheat board expects Prairie durum production to increase to 4.8 million tonnes from 3.7 million tonnes and barley production to fall to 9.9 million tonnes from 10.3 million tonnes.
The board also predicted a durum wheat crop of 3.6 million tonnes, compared with the 4 million it forecast in June. And it estimated Prairie barley production at 9.8 million tonnes, compared with 10.5 million tonnes in June. The wheat board expects to export 17.5 million tonnes of wheat, durum and barley in the coming year, about one million tonnes more than it did in the year ended July 31, [Adrian Measner] said. Measner said it was possible one day earlier this year for a farmer to use the wheat board's fixed price contract to lock in a price of $238 per tonne for top grade wheat (13.5 per cent protein) -- substantially higher than the $216 the board is projecting as its pooled price.
The markets for both wheat and durum have moved substantially from the time we submitted our recommendations (to Ottawa on payment levels)," wheat board president Greg Arason said Thursday, adding the payments need to be raised to make them "meaningful for farmers. Final CWB payments to farmers are made well after the crop year ends, after the Winnipeg-based sales agency deducts its expenses from money it brings in for selling farmers' grain. It does make -- with Ottawa's approval -- occasional adjustment payments to farmers during the course of the crop year, if markets warrant. "And you would have expected that in order to maximize cash flow into producers' hands that the minister's office would have taken the wheat board's advice and authorized the initials as the board suggested,"...

At the same time grain and oilseed prices have tumbled from their lofty heights, particularly in recent weeks as the U.S. financial crisis has spurred speculators to vacate commodity markets. The quality of the western Canadian wheat crop is projected to be average to a little above average, as long as the good weather holds, said Bruce Burnett, the CWB's director of weather and market analysis, on Thursday.

Putting this in global context, it will mean that crop production will need to increase to service the traditional food markets and the renewable fuel markets," [Mark Zenuk] said. It "will create a significant demand shift unprecedented in the history of our industry. A baking-industry consortium calling itself the "Band of Bakers" marched on Capitol Hill in Washington earlier this month in a campaign protesting volatile wheat markets that some likened to veterans marching for peace and suffragettes seeking a better deal for women. And pasta makers recently issued an odd plea to Canadian farmers -- please grow more durum to help alleviate "the problem" of high durum prices.
