Winnipeg – Following are a few highlights in the Canadian and world feed grains markets on Thursday, May 25.
It appears roughly five percent of Saskatchewan cropland won’t be seeded this spring due to excess moisture. Most of the wet area is situated in the northern portion of the province. Seeding is approximately 60 percent complete, which is slightly behind the five-year average of 65 percent. Saskatchewan annually grows the most wheat in the country.
Rain has slowed down and in some cases stopped the hard red wheat harvest in the US Southern Plains this week. According to a report on USwheat.org, most of the moisture is being recorded in central Texas and southwest Oklahoma. So far, yields in the area are coming in between 20 to 40 bushels an acre.
