In 2024, Canadian farmers are projected to produce more wheat, canola, oats, and soybeans, but less corn for grain and barley, compared with 2023, according to recent yield model estimates using satellite imagery and agroclimatic data. Increased production for almost all crops is expected to be driven by higher yields because of overall better growing conditions in Western Canada as of the end of July, compared with a year earlier. However, a lack of moisture and high temperatures in some parts of the Prairies continued to be a cause for concern.
