On August 31, StatsCan published its crop forecast, 10.545 mln tonnes of barley as expected. The split up is 0.6 mln tonnes in Manitoba, 4.5 mln in Saskatchewan, 5.4 mln tonnes in Alberta.
Farmers sales are reported to be slow. Sales to China are thought to be 1 mln tonnes by now , the trade hopes to sell up to 3 mln tonnes of malting, FAQ, and feed barley to that country.
