Costs and Returns From Wheat in Manitoba Outlined
University of Manitoba economist W. J. Craddock finds it costs more to grow grain in the Red River Valley and eastern Manitoba than elsewhere on the prairies. His study compares production costs, yields, and transportation, showing fallow wheat at 35 cents a bushel in Regina Plains versus 62 cents in the Red River Valley, with similar patterns for oats, barley, and rye. He notes yields drive per-bushel costs, and while eastern Manitoba yields are lower, regional competitiveness also hinges on per-acre costs and moisture effects. The analysis suggests prairie crops remain cheaper overall than Maritime or Quebec farming, with Ontario close to prairie costs.
