STAFF / Prairie wheat and barley growers who delivered to the Canadian Wheat Board in the 2010-11 crop year will receive interim payments starting Nov. 8.
The biggest of the per-tonne interim payments will go to No. 2 Canada Western Red Spring, 15.5 per cent protein, at $55.20; the lowest, $2.80, will go to No. 2 CW Soft White Spring wheat.
Malting barley will yield an interim payment of $6 per tonne (13 cents a bushel) and Pool B feed barley, $7 (15 cents), the CWB announced Oct. 28.
In this instance, the interim payments are effective Thursday (Oct. 27) but will be issued by direct deposit on Nov. 8 or by cheque via regular mail by about Nov. 18.

Fungicide timing for white mould depends on canopy development, disease risk and number of planned applications, North Dakota pathologist Michael Wunsch told growers at CropConnect 2026.
For examples, interim payments for the highest- protein No. 1 CWRS wheat, 15.5 per cent, will be $41.10 per tonne ($1.12 per bushel), while No. 1 CWRS at 11 per cent will fetch an interim of $17.75 per tonne (48 cents a bushel).
For No. 1 CW Red Winter Select at 11 per cent protein or higher, the interim payment will be $26.40 per tonne (72 cents a bushel), while for No. 1 CW Amber durum (11 per cent), the payment will be $24.25 per tonne (66 cents a bushel).
Final payments to farmers are expected to be made after CWB accounts are finalized, typically in early December. Farmers can defer their interim payments and have until Nov. 4 to notify the CWB.
