Remember when 34 bushels per acre was average? Well, that’s what the CWB is estimating as the average for this year’s all-wheat prairie crop. That’d be a 20.8 million tonne crop. And it could get lower if the west doesn’t get rain soon. “This is the lowest all-wheat projection … Since 2002,” CWB weather boss Bruce Burnett said a few minutes ago. The board estimates a canola crop of 29.3 bushels and 10.2 million tonnes.
