From the press release.
<blockquote>"Pedde’s study follows the accepted methodology and uses five years’ data for six types of grains. Thus, prices paid on particular days by certain elevators at specific delivery points in Montana and North Dakota are compared to prices received by Western Canadian producers at similar locations. The results show that Western Canadian producers received lower returns than comparably located producers in the Western US for most grains and grades. The conclusion is that there is no “superior performance” by the CWB." </blockquote>

More from the study
<blockquote>"The most general observation from this data set is that CWB performance is not consistently superior to the naïve strategy in any of the grains or any of the grades (Tables 6 to 11 below). More specifically, there is no evidence of a consistently positive performance in any of the grains or grades, supporting the premise that grain markets are efficient."</blockquote>
