Canada has traditionally been the second largest exporter, but its exports are unusually low this season because of poor weather. In 1983, bumper crops pushed exports to a record breaking 801 million bushels. Bad weather is often the bane of Canadian wheat farming, where drought and harsh winters can devastate crops, says economist Carol Goodloe of USDA’s Economic Research Service. As a result of the climate, Canada’s yield of around 24 bushels per acre is the fourth lowest of the top five producers-although 1984 was an especially bad year for Canada. And, if varieties are developed that better resist cold and drought, Canada could improve its low yield, according to Goodloe. “Recently, about five percent of Canadian farmers have switched to hardy winter wheat varieties that can survive the cold winter and increase yields well beyond the more commonly grown spring wheat. Some analysts believe 20 percent of Canadian wheat area could be planted with the higher yielding winter wheat varieties by the end of the decade,” Goodloe says. Canadians are also learmng how to better manage their low moisture, heavily farmed land, says Goodloe.
