Cereals Canada released its annual New Wheat Crop Report, highlighting the 2024-25 crop year. Canadian farmers grew nearly 34.3 million tonnes of high-quality wheat with a four per cent increase in non-durum wheat production and an eight per cent increase in durum wheat production. This fall, Cereals Canada received over 115 samples of Western Canadian wheat from eight grain exporters for analysis and a high proportion of the crop grading was No. 2 or better.

The Manitoba Crop Alliance (MCA) and Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers (MPSG) are investing $691,591 in Manitoba Diversification Centres to increase the province's research capacity. This is a result of a recent MCA study that highlighted equipment, infrastructure and land, funding programs and human resources as the four main challenges to expanding research. This funding will enable the diversification centres to purchase new or specialized equipment.

University of Guelph (U of G) research originally was looking at corn starch production. After the researchers observed a 250 per cent yield increase in their experiment, they quickly pivoted to canola when they saw the potential benefit for the crop. Now, the greenhouse yield from new transgenic canola lines is 50 per cent higher.

Most six-row barley varieties grown in Western Canada are largely resistant to spot blotch, but many two-row varieties are still susceptible. The problem is, until now, barley breeders didn’t know exactly which part of their genome was providing this resistance. Thanks to biotech advancements, barley researchers are finding the source of disease resistance.
