Canada Releases its 2024 New Wheat Crop Report

Nov 20, 2024

Cereals Canada today released its annual New Wheat Crop Report to domestic and global customers of Canadian wheat. The 2024 report provides a quality and functionality update and highlights Canadian wheat production.

"In the 2024-25 crop year, Canada is expected to export 25.4 million tonnes of wheat to over 80 countries, with the quality and protein content that customers expect," stated Dean Dias, Chief Executive Officer at Cereals Canada. "This will make Canada the world's third largest exporter of wheat, and the top exporter of high quality, high protein wheat, for the second year in a row."

In a season that started with ample precipitation in Western Canada, Canadian farmers grew nearly 34.3 million tonnes of high-quality wheat. Yields exceeded expectations, leading to a four percent increase in non-durum wheat production and an eight percent increase in durum wheat production. Quality was excellent for all classes with a high proportion of the crop grading No. 2 or better.

Video: Understanding Nitrogen Loss Through Denitrification

Denitrification is one of the three main pathways for nitrogen loss, but what is it really, and how much nitrogen do we stand to lose?

In this episode, Lyle Cowell is joined by Dr. Erin Daly from the University of Guelph to break down denitrification and the conditions that drive nitrogen loss in the soil. They explore how nitrogen can be lost as nitrous oxide and nitrogen gas, what conditions drive losses and when they are most likely to occur.

Erin also shares how CanN2ONet, a national research network, is helping us better understand nitrous oxide emissions across Canada. From field towers that measure emissions to research into regionally tailored best management practices, discover how the network is working to help growers improve nitrogen use efficiency and help reduce nitrogen losses across the country.
