Ag Minister Gerry Ritz, who met with
representatives from the largest
customer, Warburtons, in London last
week, points out the increased sales
correspond with the end of the Canadian
Wheat Board's single desk.
"They are excited by the changes," he
said from London. "There were some
challenges to begin with because they
had gotten used to the old way of doing
things, but now that they have a year
under their belt, they're really
excited by the potential, being able to
contract acres as they have done to make
sure they get what they want."
"They say the quality and consistency is
still there, and they're now talking
about using some CPS in their milling
capacity, as opposed to always being
forced to by Number 1 Red high protein,"
said Ritz.
Can somebody explain this statement?
Canada has always had all classes of
wheat, grades, and protein levels for
sale, I thought. Who was forcing anybody
to buy only #1 High pro?
