Barley and rapeseed also hit export records, while oats rye and other exports rose. The Wheat Board booklet notes demand from U S corn blight and softer crops abroad drove higher exports. Future year outlook remains unclear beyond strong early Russian and China commitments.

Saskatchewan Cancels Pulp Mill Deal Amid Budget Clash
Premier Allan Blakeney announced in the Legislature that Saskatchewan will withdraw from the $117 million pulp mill project with Parsons and Whitte NOR of New York, blaming the prior Liberal government for the costly withdrawal. He warned that if the mill failed, the province could face up to $149 million in costs, and cited a June 14 decision and a void CPR agreement as factors eliminating a cost-free exit. The session also advanced a bill to remove utilization fees and medical premiums for residents 65 and older, with health minister Smishek defending the plan as part of broader health-service expansions.
