Persistent rain across Western Canada is prompting concerns that prairie farmers will add to a glut of low quality milling wheat that is already weighing on world markets.
The good news, at least for some, is that volumes of top quality, high protein milling wheat could be in short supply and are likely to command price premiums from grain handlers that may be looking for blending opportunities.
“Overall, in Alberta, I think we’re going to see high volumes,” said Kevin Auch, a wheat producer from Carmangay, Alta., and chair of the Alberta Wheat Commission.
