Chart of the Week
Some beneficial rains have been moving across the prairies but the flax yield situation is still precarious, mostly because many flax acres are located in the driest areas. Despite a 9% increase in acres, 2015 production could drop as low as 750-775,000 tonnes on an 18.5 bu/acre yield. AAFC is still projecting an above-average 22.5 bu/acre yield and a 950,000 tonne crop.
