Wheat Board Advisory Committee Report Brings Trade, Weather, Strikes
The Wheat Board Advisory Committee met July 14 at Winnipeg headquarters with all 11 members and 3 commissioners present. Discussions covered Russia buying 2 000 000 tons of Canadian wheat and likely 3 000 000 tons from the United States, plus Russia’s drought and heat. Canada faces past labor strikes while the U.S. also grapples with customer stability. July grain deliveries are expected to be heavy, and farmers are urged to deliver promptly as quotas are set. Grasshopper issues and unsettled weather in Manitoba are noted.
