Milk Pricing Announcement

The Canadian Dairy Commission (CDC) announced a slight decrease in the farmgate price of milk.

Conversely when production costs go down, so can the price of milk entering the supply chain, as is the case now,” said David Wiens, President of Dairy Farmers of Canada. “The National Pricing Formula will be applied on February 1st, 2025, once approved by provincial authorities.”

Six hundred Canadian farms grow grain for Warburton's under custom contract — and that partnership exists because of Canadian plant breeding. Now the man responsible for maintaining it is sounding the alarm.

Adam Dyck is the program manager for Warburton's Canada, a company that produces over two million loaves of bread a day for more than 20,000 retail locations across the UK. He's watched Canadian wheat deliver thirty years of yield gains and quality advancements that make it worth sourcing at scale — and shipping across the Atlantic. But he's also watching the investment conditions that produced those gains come under pressure. Dyck makes the case for a new funding mechanism that brings both public and private dollars into wheat breeding before Canada's competitive window starts to close.
