Canada: Grain and Feed Update
FAS/Canada anticipates increased total wheat area planted to drive up total wheat production in marketing year 2018/19, more than offsetting lower yields on difficult harvest conditions. Spring wheat, barley and oat quality are expected lower on extensive moisture at harvest, including early October snow, which should drive up feed quality grain supplies in Western Canada. Durum quality is expected to be good, as most of the crop was harvested before the snow. Marketing year 2018/19 corn production is projected at a record high on greater area planted and improved yields.
