Canada Wheat Harvest Prospects Up Across Prairie Provinces
The Winnipeg Free Press notes strong optimism for Western Canada with yields from twenty to thirty bushels per acre and provincial totals reaching 125 million in Saskatchewan, 70 million in Alberta, and 225 to 300 million bushels across the three prairie provinces. Gaps in Eastern yields are acknowledged but overall outlook remains high. Barley and rye exceed average, harvest staffing sufficient, and Manitoba reports a larger than average crop. An advertisement follows offering a suggestion for a tombstone.
