OTTAWA (Reuters) — Canadian stocks of canola, barley, oats and dry peas were up at the end of July 2023 compared to the same date in 2022, according to a farm survey by Statistics Canada released Sept. 8.
StatCan said higher total supplies reflected increased production in 2022, as growing conditions on Canada’s Prairies recovered after one of the driest years on record. Total wheat stocks were down because of higher exports.
Data on the stocks of principal field crops held on farms came from a survey of 25,000 farmers from May 15 to June 12.
