Wheat Board Advisory Committee Meeting Review
The Wheat Board advisory committee met on August 11 1976 with two commissioners eleven members and senior staff present. By July 31 producers had delivered 85.8 million bushels of grain this year versus 734.4 million last year. Farmland stocks remained similar to last year and elevators had room to store. New crop year quotas will be smaller but similar in size with some terminations expected. Rapeseed and durum will move slowly from farms due to ample elevator stocks. Global crop conditions vary with Canada expected to harvest well if weather cooperates while the US sees a good crop despite dryness. The Soviet harvest is expected under 900 million tons and Russian purchases may rise. Chinese demand remains favorable and Australian crop outlook is uncertain. Wheat prices are down but could rise if the Soviet Union buys heavily. Malting barley prices are strong and growers are urged to move barley to malting grade. initial payment is 50 cents higher. Vancouver barley selling last fell at 2.26. The board is studying non-board grain quota allocations to balance fairness and supply. Feed barley prices differ from corn, with policy reviews due in 30 days. Cash advances remain as last year, with potential legal action for arrears. The August Grain Matters issue will provide details, and the next advisory committee meeting is September 20.
