Global wheat supplies for 2010/2011 were increased slightly as higher world production offset lower carry-in. World production was raised 1.5 million metric tonnes as a result of higher estimates for Argentina, Australia, EU-27 and Paraguay. Global wheat trade for 2010/2011 was also increased. Imports were up for China, Egypt, South Korea, Azerbaijan and the United States. Exports rose for Argentina, EU-27 and Russia. Wheat consumption was estimated to be 2.5 million metric tonnes higher, reflecting a 2.0 million metric tonne increase in Chinese wheat feeding. Global ending stocks for 2010/2011 were dropped by 2.2 million metric tonnes. For the 2010/2011 marketing year, global coarse grain supplies were lowered by 3.3 million metric tonnes. Reductions were made to corn production in the United States, barley production in China and oats and rye production in Russia. Global trade estimates decreased slightly with lower corn imports for the Philippines and South Korea partly offset by small increases in corn imports for Saudi Arabia and sorghum imports by EU-27. Despite higher corn feeding in China and Argentina, global coarse grain consumption was lowered to reflect reduced corn feeding in EU-27, South Korea and the Philippines. Estimates for global oilseed production in 2010/2011 were increased by 0.1 million metric tonnes from last month, to 440.7 million metric tonnes. While soybean production was increased, production projections for sunflower seed, rapeseed, peanut and cottonseed were decreased. Oilseed trade was estimated to be 111.4 million metric tonnes, an increase of 1.8 million metric tonnes. Chinese soybean imports were raised to 57 million metric tonnes to reflect strong demand. Soybean and soybean meal imports for EU-27 were also higher as a result of lower sunflower seed and rapeseed availability. Nikator closes out Port of Churchill season The shipping season at the Port of Churchill ended on November 2 as the vessel Nikator left the port loaded with 26,000 metric tonnes of durum wheat destined for Nigeria. Churchill enjoyed a busy season with 656,298 metric tonnes, including both Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) and non-board grains, flowing through the port. This was the second highest tonnage on record. Approximately 600,000 metric tonnes of CWB grains were handled, resulting in cost savings for Prairie farmers. The port also handled non-board grains for the first time in three years, including 43,000 metric tonnes of canola and 12,000 metric tonnes of dry peas. It was the first ever shipment of food-grade peas for Churchill. The shipping season opened on July 29. A total of 22 vessels called at the port during the three month season and 7,225 rail cars were unloaded. The port also handled goods destined to communities and mines in Nunavut. European Union GMO tolerance update Reports indicated that the European Union (EU) was close to moving forward with a plan to allow small traces of non-authorized biotech material in imports of grain and oilseeds for animal feed. The proposed new tolerance was seen as a technical solution to replace Europe’s zero-tolerance policy on the presence of any genetically modified organisms (GMO) that have not been approved by EU regulators. Statistics Canada – Catalogue no. 22-007-X 5 Cereals and Oilseeds Review – October 2010 The European Commission’s food safety unit authored the proposal. It was still in draft form and could not be published until all internal commission departments have given their approval.

  • Interwar Rail Construction in Saskatchewan and Alberta: an Evaluation
    Prairie Perspectives (Vol. 11) 45 Interwar rail construction in Saskatchewan and Alberta: an evaluation Charles W. Bohi, Independent Scholar, White River Junction, Vermont ([email protected]) Leslie S. Kozma, Independent Scholar, Edmonton, Alberta ([email protected]) Abstract: Between 1919 and 1935 over 4,600 miles (7,403 km) of new railway were built in the Prairie Provinces. More than 90 percent of these were low density branch lines built in Saskatchewan and Alberta. In 1932, the Royal Commission on Railways and Transportation, usually referred to as the Duff Commission after its Chairman, Chief Justice Lyman Duff, concluded that the construction of these branch lines was a ‘disastrous’ mistake. That became the prevailing view of historians and others who studied the Interwar period. In addition, many scholars blamed Canadian National and its President, Sir Henry Thornton, for causing this waste by invasions of Canadian Pacific territory. The purpose of this paper is to examine the pressures that caused so many new branch lines to be built, whether Canadian National was the aggressor, and, most importantly, whether the money spent on these lines was indeed wasted. Key words: railways, Saskatchewan, Alberta, Canadian National Railway, Canadian Pacific Railway Introduction “Railways … were as essential as rain and sun to progressive settlement on the Canadian prairie” (Mackintosh 1934, 46). This outlook was the driving force behind the last great burst of rural branch-line construction in North America. Between the end of World War I in 1918 and 1935, the railways built some 4,600 miles (7,403 km) of new lines in the Prairie Provinces.
