July 5 (Reuters) – Canadian farmers planted more acres of wheat, corn, lentils, and oats compared to 2021 levels, while planting less canola, barley, soybeans and dry peas, according to a Statistics Canada survey released on Tuesday.
The survey, conducted between May 13 to June 12, found that the seeding decisions were influenced by ongoing issues such as soil moisture conditions in parts of Western Canada, rising input costs, and high crop prices resulting from low national and global supply, as well as the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
