Saskatchewan rapeseed boom shifts farmers from wheat
In Saskatchewan rapeseed, or mustard, yielded unusually this year, leaving farmers with a surplus while market demand lags. Raw rapeseed brings about 3.5 million dollars yearly to Saskatchewan growers, supporting Moose Jaw’s bag factory and a vegetable-like operation. A floor price of six cents per pound last spring encouraged many Tisdale Prince Albert Nipawin producers to grow rape, with some farmers earning nearly twice per acre the returns of wheat. Rapeseed began in Saskatchewan in 1943, evolving into a significant crop for the region.
