CWB announced today that it has begun selling farmers’ canola, the first time in 63 years that a new crop has been added to its marketing mix.

CWB today announced it has reached handling agreements with all western Canadian grain companies.

A weather and crop specialist with CWB reports yield and quality prospects for western Canada’s 2012 crop look good.

CWB has announced 2012-13 initial payments for farmers who contract wheat, durum and malting barley to its Early Delivery Pool and Harvest Pool, newly created to serve farmers in the competitive grain-marketing environment that begins August 1.

CWB announced it will offer farmers higher initial payments and a new cash-out option to assist with their cash-flow needs.

The Western Canadian Wheat Growers Association endorses the federal government’s decision to cover all Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) wind-up costs associated with the end of the CWB monopoly.

The Canadian Wheat Board reports crop development across the Canadian prairies ranges from ahead of normal in Manitoba to normal in Saskatchewan and Alberta.

Farmers now have delivery points all across Western Canada to market their grain with the Canadian Wheat Board.

The Canadian Wheat Board reports, despite unusually warm March weather, spring seeding is close to on par with normal.

The CWB officially launched its new programs for a new grain-marketing era. Pool and cash contracts for wheat, durum and malting barley are now available, backed by CWB expertise and government guarantees.
