The weather not only affected this year’s winter wheat crop but will also have an impact on next year’s seeding intentions.
Bruce Burnett, weather and crop specialist at the Canadian Wheat Board says more snow cover will be needed to protect the winter wheat crop from winterkill as the temperature continues to drop.
He estimates that the winter wheat growing acreage has dropped about 20 per cent across the prairies due to a combination of the poor quality and late harvest of last year’s crop and the weather in many areas.
