A combination of rain, snow and frost is causing downgrading of crops in northern Saskatchewan and Alberta.
“We won’t see much No. 1 wheat anymore,” said Jason Skinner, chief executive officer of North West Terminal in Unity, Sask.
“It will all be at least downgraded to a two if not a three or feed in some cases. So it’s going to reduce quality significantly.”
He estimates farmers in the Unity area had combined 10 to 15 percent of their crops as of Sept. 24. Growers north of that were even further behind.
