Wheat still fetches over a dollar a bushel in Canada
Professor E C Hope of the University of Saskatchewan notes some Canadian farms still yield wheat worth more than a dollar per bushel. His brother A C Hope, a Fraser Valley mixed farmer, sold soft wheat at just over a dollar per bushel on a 40 acre farm. The grain, grading no higher than number 4, went to local poultry raisers and dairymen. Hope cites high domestic freight rates in British Columbia as the cause of elevated grain prices there.
