The World of Wiest surveys the Crop Testing Plan and reports that over 600 farmers grew wheat varieties that misrepresented their rust resistance or maturity. Some seed was not the advertised variety, highlighting the need to rely on registered and certified seed. Factors affecting prices include postwar wheat reserve plans, rains lowering Western Canada crop quality, and new trade treaties.
