According to Statistics Canada, Canadian farmers reported producing more wheat, canola, barley, corn for grain, soybeans, and oats in 2022 compared with 2021. Higher production was driven largely by better yields, especially in western Canada where growing conditions were generally more favourable than in 2021. Good conditions allowed farm operators to complete harvest in a timely manner across most of the country. Total wheat production rose by 51.7% to 33.8 million tonnes in 2022, the highest production since 2020 and the third highest production on record, largely attributable to higher production in the Prairies.
