Glacier FarmMedia | MarketsFarm — Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada made only a handful of alterations for its November report on principal field crops.

The only changes AAFC made were with all wheat and durum exports plus domestic use for all wheat and corn in the estimates released on Nov. 24. The report had been initially scheduled for Nov. 19, but AAFC said they chose to delay it until after the United States Department of Agriculture issued its November supply and demand estimates following the U.S. government shutdown.

A few exports up, some domestic use down

AAFC added 300,000 tonnes to its call on 2025/26 all wheat exports, now at 27.70 million tonnes. The department also tacked on 100,000 tonnes to 2025/26 durum exports of 5.20 million tonnes.

As for domestic use, AAFC sliced 200,000 tonnes each from its estimate on all wheat, pegged at 8.04 million tonnes, and for corn at 14.68 million.

Statistics Canada is scheduled to release its production report on Dec. 4, with the next AAFC estimates based on those numbers.
