 Winnipeg-based Intellifarm president Brian Voth says there were no major surprises in the StatsCan acreage report. The biggest acreage change came in a 2 million acre reduction in barley from last year. With the availability of corn and relatively cheap corn coming out of the states, that has really taken a toll on barley prices here. So to see barley acres down is not a real surprise. Oat acres up.
