So if the ratio I quoted is meaningless why did you bother calculating three other years to the second decimal point. I simply took a multiple year average. Funny you're anal about accuracy and yet the link you included for reference is all about estimates. FWIW 2002 was only approx 1.2%, even more insignificant. I respect your opinion on this but I don't agree with it. Don't forget Canada also has been importing approx a half million tonnes these last few years but also leaving roughly the same amount out in the field in those wonderful harvest management sprayer tracks.

2002 eh. I don't expect you know what happened in Western Canada in 2002....Why be approximate? 1.2%?? Wrong. Again your reference please?

You keep revealing these amazing tidbits of info that no one else is aware of.
Could you please reference where Canada is recorded as importing half a million tonnes of wheat per year the last few years? Thanks

Also, you should know that nobody knows how much wheat there is in the world at any given time. It's all estimates....They are all there is to go by. But over time they do become statistics. It would be nice if you used them when trying to manufacture new facts

I've allowed you a few days to find the stats. Have you even looked. Easy to find. Who's manufacturing numbers if they admit they can't find stats????? Anyways here they are, keep them handy.
2001-2002 drought was pretty rough for Sask/Alb, not so much in Manitoba. 1988 drought was worse for us, our problem is hail though.

There you go. Quote import numbers in two of the worst drought to hit the prairies and pass it off as something that happens regular. No it was an exception. Because of EXTREMELY low production. Again twisting the story to fit your myth.

Hey Bin thanks for responding! You may want to check this number against other sources....When there is more time I'll post some numbers from the sources below.

A bit of a problem when trying to find out how much wheat Canada imports is that wheat from the US lands in Canada on its way to other destinations. It's messy because there is grain in transit to account for as well.
The WASDE, which IndexMundi sc****s data from, has the purpose of counting wheat. It is not so much concerned with who owns it or buys and sells it.

Some lands at Cargill, Baie Comeau,(current capacity is 441,780 Mt) waiting for export....

You might want to read the Canada Grain Act too.
