Canada: Grain and Feed Update

According to preliminary model-based field crop estimates, spring wheat production in MY 2024/2025 fell one percent over the previous year on a 2.9 percent decline in area planted, partly offset by improved average yields. Durum wheat production increased 48 percent over the previous year on a 5.5 percent increase in area planted, and improved average yields due to improved soil moisture over the previous year. Final estimates will be published in December. Industry contacts in Ontario report that winter wheat planting is nearing completion the week of September 28 and planting conditions have been ideal in most parts of the province.
