Maintaining producer control regarding the future of the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) remains high this year on a list of priorities outlined in the CWB’s annual producer survey.
Released last month, the report revealed 76 per cent of respondents believe the federal government should not eliminate the CWB without producer consent, a view shared by respondents both in favour of and opposed the single-desk model.

About 1,000 acres of southern Alberta's sugar beet crop has been lost to the excessive rainfall since spring.
Andrew Llewelyn-Jones of Taber, agricultural superintendent for Lantic Sugar, said one complete field was drowned out, and low spots in many other fields have been lost for the year.
He said some of those areas were reseeded to other crops like barley, but others were inside sugar beet fields and left bare.

An innovative approach to farming practices is now currently being tested in Alberta to ascertain if it offers attractive advantages to producers.
Known as controlled-traffic farming (CTF), this process is a crop-production system with permanent traffic lanes where machinery tires travel each year. This approach restricts soil compaction to the permanent lanes and reduces the area of the field that is compacted compared to random traffic, resulting in improved crop yields. CTF uses a machinery system where as much as possible, all machinery uses a similar wheel gauge, the distance between wheels across the machine.
