Too much wheat

[SASKFARMER3]

Topic should be shit show loading at coast and rain plus way to much for industry to handle.
Ah who thinks the Canola 2020 thing will give one thing also low prices.
If industry cant ramp up their game how can farmers expect to get more for their product.
Big Volume is low prices.

In doing a bit of research it would look like in every case except China it would be valid to ask why exports dropped.
I don't know, likely lots of reasons.

Most likely:
1) couldn't supply in a timely manner
2) quality control problems made customers look elsewhere
3) Price too high

Our prices are not too high. So I guess it's 1 and 2.

What happens in a year when Mother Nature steps in and western Canada produces a small crop?

I know the discussion is more about the domestic situation but I look at the world demand side. Is a 1 % growth in world crop consumption out of line/too big? That is about 7 MMT increase in world wheat consumption every year. Am I being stupid in suggesting? If that is realistic, that means the world will be consuming an additional 245 MMT of wheat by 2050 with no compounding of growth.

Perhaps too much for our system to handle but disagree with idea that if we all produced less,we would be better off.
Idea has been around for as long as I can remember, supported, at times, by supply management advocates and union philosophy.
Keep seeing it promoted by some other posters and ticks me off immensely.
