Canada faces wheat demand as drought tests yields
Canada may need about 50 million bushels more wheat annually to meet domestic and export needs while keeping safe carryover stocks. Historic yields show average production around 497.4 million bushels from 237 million acres, with several high years and a 26.7 bushel per acre in 1952. To reach 500 million, prairie acreages must rise from 22 million, though drought and yield declines dim the outlook for the next two to three years.
