WINNIPEG, Jan. 10 (CNS Canada) – Canadian farmers grew a smaller barley crop in 2017 compared to the previous year, as yields and seeded area were both down, but the quality was good, according to the recently released quality report from the Canadian Grain Commission.
“Overall, the dry growing season in 2017 resulted in ample supply of excellent malt-quality barley with slightly lower-than-average protein levels, and heavier and plumper kernels compared with the 10-year average values,” said the CGC report.
Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture bought only 1,510 tonnes of feed wheat in its latest simultaneous buy and sell (SBS) auction. The ministry had been looking to purchase 120,000 to 200,000 tonnes.
