1999-2000 adjustment payments approved
Winnipeg -- The CWB today announced that the Government of Canada
has approved increases to the 1999-2000 initial payments for wheat,
durum wheat, feed barley and designated barley.
Effective July 28, 2000 initial payments for wheat and durum wheat
will increase $10 per tonne. Initial payments for feed barley will
be increased $13 per tonne and designated barley initial payments
will increase $7 per tonne.
Farmers who delivered wheat, barley and durum to the CWB between
August 1, 1999 and July 27, 2000 will receive an adjustment
payment. The payments will be mailed on August 8 or received by
direct deposit on August 4.
Initial payments are guaranteed by the federal government and are
paid to farmers when they deliver grain. The CWB recommends
increases to the initial payments as market conditions warrant or
as each pool account becomes more firm. This is the fourth
adjustment to the initial payments during the 1999-2000 crop
year.
Farmers will receive the balance of their returns in interim or
final payments after the close of the crop year (July 31, 2000),
and after all expenses have been deducted. A complete listing of
payments for all grades in dollars per tonne and dollars per bushel
is posted on the CWB's Web site (under the Payments link)
Initial payments should not be confused with monthly Pool Return
Outlooks (PROs) which are the CWB's estimates of total pool year
returns.
The CWB is the world's largest farmer-controlled wheat and barley
marketer. Headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba, it is one of
Canada's biggest exporters and the largest net earner of foreign
exchange. Marketing Prairie-grown wheat and barley to over 70
countries around the world, the CWB returns all sales revenues,
less the costs of marketing, to farmers in Western Canada.
