Description

The elimination of mandatory single desk marketing through the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) in August 2012 represented a significant change to the selling of wheat and barley in Western Canada. Traditionally the CWB had a great deal of influence on the timing, direction, and departure port of board grains. With more options available to producers, there are expected impacts on the grain marketing and handling system within Western Canada. The purpose of this paper is to capture the current catchment and transportation flows of wheat and barley before the policy change. The intent is to have a benchmark for future comparison when the impacts on the grain marketing and handling system have been fully realized.
