Faba Bean Feed Benchmark

Prices on wheat and barley remained largely unchanged over the past two weeks across the Prairies.
 
Corn, however, moved $10/T higher on strengthening futures markets and transportation issues on US corn. Corn DDGS increased by $20-30/T because of increased demand caused by the continuing escalation of feed protein prices.
 
Soybean meal increased by $70-90/T across the Prairies over the past two weeks with canola meal increasing by $50-60/T. Feed grade peas and lentils continue to be scarce but are now pricing into most diets.
 
Manitoba pricing on any product available ranges from $270-280/T, with a trading range of $260-270/T in Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Video: What’s at Stake in Every Slice | On The Brink: Episode 7

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.
