Canada: Barley Production 2010/11
The first survey-based forecast of 2010 barley production is 182 million bushels, down 8 million from the previous projection and down 45 million from the 2009 crop. Planted area was down 301,000 acres from earlier intentions and down 595,000 acres from 2009. Harvested acreage is estimated at 2.5 million acres and is down 567,000 acres from 2009. The expected decline in production is a result of the lowest planted acreage on record and the lowest expected harvested acreage since 1883. The average barley yield is forecast at 71.6 bushels per acre, up from last month's trend-based projection of 66.9 bushels. If realized, the 2010 yield would be second only to last year’s record of 73.0 bushels per acre. As of July 4, 85 percent of the crop was rated in good to excellent condition, compared with 77 percent last year at the same time.
