Utility wheat study probes yields and pricing gaps
Agriculture Canada and Palliser Wheat Growers Association released results from a utility wheat trial. Poor growing conditions reduced reliability, prompting a repeat study. Utility wheat yielded 13.2 percent more than hard red spring wheat on average but cost more to produce. Glenlea would need to fetch seven to eight percent above or near hard red spring wheat to keep returns. Pitic 62 priced about 13 cents below hard red spring wheat for comparable returns. Norquay had limited data from nine farmers. In total 226 Palliser members participated across Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Alberta, with Glenlea dominating acreage. Alberta out-yielded Saskatchewan and Manitoba due to drought elsewhere. Summer fallow outperformed stubble, and Pitic 62 suited less productive zones but not heavy rainfall areas. Glenlea favors moister prairie regions and matures later. Norquay easy to handle but smut risk. Demand for utility wheat has grown. the $44,100 study funded largely by the federal New Crop Development Fund involved producers and collaboration with Saskatchewan institutions and Pioneer Grain Company provided gauges.

Canadian Chamber criticizes Budget for restraint but calls for more
The Canadian Chamber of Commerce says the Turner budget is responsive yet insufficient to curb government spending and Civil Service size. It notes little benefit for resource industries, tax inequities remain, and the 5.3 billion dollar cash deficit risks inflation and worsened housing costs.
