Over the past couple of seasons we have seen an increase in fusarium affected kernels. The link below is from the Western Producer on the crop spray value on wheat crops.

The Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) is issuing final payments to farmers for the wheat, durum wheat and barley they delivered to the CWB pools during the 2010-11 crop year. These payments represent the balance of the money owing to farmers after their grain has been marketed through the CWB pools, and after operating costs have been deducted.
Direct deposits will be made to farmers' accounts on December 22. Farmers who receive payment by cheque can expect to begin receiving them in the mail on December 30.
Any questions, please give us a call at the terminal
