Prairie grain crisis deepens as Wheat Board plans car purchases
The Wheat Board announced a plan to buy 500 to 2,000 hopper cars at about 100 million dollars amid ongoing Western grain handling problems. Last year approximately 350 million dollars in sales were lost to transportation issues. By late November, about 360,000 tons of grain were in transit on the Prairies, with railcars often underfilled. Port of Vancouver activity fell from 750 to about 500 off-loads per day, and nearly 1 million tonnes of sales were deferred to future crop years as delivery lags continue. China then announced a large U S grain purchase despite Canada’s position.
