Canadian Wheat Board Sees Profit From U S Market Shift
As the United States lifts its wheat import embargo, Canadian farmers foresee higher final payments for wheat sold to the Canadian Wheat Board. Prices in Minneapolis now run 320 to 325 a bushel for No 1 dark northern, potentially lifting profits if Canadian exports reach the U S. market, though officials warn prices could fall toward the government guarantee if U S demand surges. James Stewart, head of the board, notes the current rise reflects U S shortages and mill demand for hard spring wheat, with the outlook uncertain as European contracts and available stock complicate sales.
