Possibility of Improved Wheat Prices in Saskatchewan

The latest U.S. seeding intentions report could lead to improved wheat prices in Saskatchewan.
 
P.I. Financial office manager in Regina, Ron Tkatchuk says the U.S. wheat planting acreage is down nine per-cent, which could lead to potentially higher prices in Western Canada.
 
Thatchuk says the U.S. report was mostly negative for corn and soybeans because of increased stocks and higher seeding intentions.

Six hundred Canadian farms grow grain for Warburton's under custom contract — and that partnership exists because of Canadian plant breeding. Now the man responsible for maintaining it is sounding the alarm.

Adam Dyck is the program manager for Warburton's Canada, a company that produces over two million loaves of bread a day for more than 20,000 retail locations across the UK. He's watched Canadian wheat deliver thirty years of yield gains and quality advancements that make it worth sourcing at scale — and shipping across the Atlantic. But he's also watching the investment conditions that produced those gains come under pressure. Dyck makes the case for a new funding mechanism that brings both public and private dollars into wheat breeding before Canada's competitive window starts to close.
