    Weekly flash

    Pace math

    This crop year, week by week

    Against the previous five crop years; hover for last year's value.

    Farmer selling

    How fast farmers are delivering this crop, sized to the harvest and ranked against every crop year since 2013-14.

    Delivered by this week

    Deliveries, every crop year

    Cumulative thousand tonnes. Hover to compare all years at one week.

    Share delivered directly to processors

    Where this year's deliveries are coming from

    Country elevators

    Grain coming into licensed country elevators from farms against grain going out by rail and truck. When shipments lag deliveries, elevators fill up, which usually means rail or port congestion and weaker basis.

    Net build in country elevators

    Deliveries into country elevators minus shipments out, thousand tonnes since Aug 1. Rising = elevators filling.

    Weeks of cover in country elevators

    Country elevator stocks divided by the 4-week average of shipments out

    Port terminals

    Rail unloads at port against vessel loadings, how many weeks of exports terminal stocks cover, Thunder Bay shipments before the lakes freeze, and which grades are being shipped.

    Pacific receipts minus exports

    Thousand tonnes unloaded at Vancouver and Prince Rupert terminals less thousand tonnes exported, since Aug 1. Rising = rail delivering faster than ships load.

    Weeks of cover at port terminals

    Terminal stocks, all ports, divided by the 4-week average of terminal exports

    Thunder Bay shipments before freeze-Up

    Export grade mix

    Since 2013-14

    Past crop years

    Terminal exports by port

    Thousand tonnes through licensed port terminals in each completed crop year

    Commercial stocks, every crop year

    Thousand tonnes at week end, all locations. Hover to compare all years at one week.

    Crop-Year ending stocks

    Thousand tonnes in commercial storage on Jul 31, by location. The label is ending stocks as a share of that year's .

    Shipments out of country elevators, every crop year

    Cumulative thousand tonnes shipped from licensed country elevators to all destinations since Aug 1. With deliveries in, this is what builds or draws down country stocks. Hover to compare all years at one week.
