Western Canadian spring wheat bids were steady to stronger for the week ended August 21 despite weaker United States wheat futures.
Much of the Canadian Prairies received heavy rainfall during the week, which benefited late-seeded crops.
However, cooler temperatures and wet fields delayed harvest operations.
Across the region the winter wheat harvest was around the halfway mark while that for spring wheat was in its early stages.
Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada projected 2025-26 all wheat production at 34.855 million tonnes in its August report, 422,000 more than the July estimate.
Ending stocks were raised by 50,000 tonnes at 4.35 million.
The International Grain Council increased its 2025-26 global wheat crop outlook by three million tonnes from its July estimate at 811 million, by raising production estimates for Russia and the European Union.
