Need Better Wheat For Western Canada
A. T. Sinclair of Winnipeg warns Alberta farmers that Canadian wheat quality has regressed to earlier levels while other countries improve. Seven years of crop testing show 38 percent of western Canada wheat comes from mixed strains and four to five percent of farmers do not know their wheat variety. Mixed varieties ripen at different times complicating harvest and lowering yield and grade, reducing earnings. The testing plan is funded by eight western grain companies with support from federal and provincial agriculture departments and prairie universities.
