SASKATCHEWAN — Statistics Canada released its report on stocks of major crops as of July 31.
It shows total stocks of canola and barley were up compared to the same date a year ago, but stocks of wheat, oats, dry peas, and lentils were down compared to a year prior.
Total wheat stocks as of the end of July were down year-over-year by 18.5 per cent to 4.6 million tonnes. Stats Canada says it was partially due to a lower total national supply.
Total stocks of dry peas were 348 thousand tonnes, a decrease of 36.7 per cent, while total stocks of lentils were down to 179,000 tonnes.
Oat stocks were down to 463,000 tonnes due to a lower harvest last year.
Barley stocks were up 72.6 per cent year over year to 1.2 million tonnes. Canola stocks increased to 3.1 million tonnes.
