Wheat prices rise as crop losses hit Manitoba farmers
World wheat shortages push up farmer prices, but Canadians still enjoy low grocery costs. The farmer’s slice of a $1.50 loaf remains about 9 cents, with price gains passing through the market chain. Food Freedom Day fell to February 7 in 2002 as incomes spent on groceries shrank. Keystone Agricultural Producers represents Manitoba farmers.
