Marketing Wheat, Durum and Barley in a New Era

Mike Jubinville, President of Pro Farmer Canada, sits down with Kevin Hursh to discuss how to navigate through the changes in marketing for wheat, durum and barley.

Key Points

  • Contracting and pricing programs are still evolving for wheat, durum and barley in Western Canada.
  • Caution is advised when pursuing forward contracts because grade and protein discounts are often undefined.
  • A secondary market for "fair-average quality” malting barley is likely to evolve.
  • New ICE Future Canada contracts have been launched, but there has been limited use so far.
  • Don't write off what the new CWB will be offering for pricing programs, including price pooling.
