Canada is a top destination for U.S. agricultural exports. In 2009, U.S. agricultural exports to Canada reached $15.7 billion. Consumer-oriented agricultural products accounted for 76 percent of total U.S. food and agricultural product sales to Canada in 2009 with fresh and processed fruits and vegetables, snack foods, red meats, breakfast cereals, and fruit and vegetable juice products as the category leaders. The United States and Canada have the world's largest bilateral trading relationship. Two-way truck traffic alone exceeds 7,000 trucks per day.

Winter Wheat Variety Yield and Market Share Data – 2025

Winter wheat data from the 2024-2025 Manitoba Crop Variety Evaluation Trials (MCVET) is in!

Although considerable data is collected from MCVET, the disease ratings are from variety registration data. Table 2 below summarizes the yield results from the 2025 MCVET data by trial location. The yield results represent 2025 data only; therefore long-term trends should be considered when making variety selection decisions. Previous yield data can be found in past editions of Seed Manitoba.
