Harvest is lagging behind with the recent rainy weather.
Farmers in the southern prairies have just more than a quarter of this year's crop off, which is well off the two-thirds progress at this time last year.
Bruce Burnett, the Canadian Wheat Board's Director for Weather and Market Analysis, says before the rains, the crop quality was quite good.
Burnett fears that durum quality will be downgraded once harvest resumes, since the rains mostly fell in the southern prairies where most of the durum is grown.
