Statistics Canada put 2024 barley seeding at 6.4 million acres, down from 7.3 million in 2023, and production at 7.5 million tonnes versus 8.9 million a year earlier. Drought in Alberta and western Saskatchewan cut yields, and prices in Western Canada appear to be bottoming.
A sharply smaller Canadian barley crop tightens feed grain supply and supports prices, pushing up import demand and feed costs in western Canada.
