For more information, contact Ruud in Edmonton at Canada's wheat export program is steadily running 10 to 15 per cent below last year says an Alberta Agriculture market analyst. 'This isn't a surprise given the smaller crop and poorer quality," says Larry Ruud. Another factor is weather damage to the Australian wheat crop during their harvest. 'This will make the world market for feed even more competitive than it is already," he adds. However, the weather damaged Australian crop will help maintain the premium for higher quality milling wheat. "Asking prices out of Vancouver for our high protein wheat are 10 per cent above last year's," he says.

Grant, 17, of Olds and the Bow-Inn Beef Club watched a collegiate judging competition while in Denver. And while he learned from watching that competition, he also glimpsed a possibility for his own further education. As part of visiting sights and places of interest in Denver, he also journeyed to a nearby college in Sterling, Colorado that he hopes to attend. Grant also took in the Saler show and sale while at the stock show. His family raises that purebred cattle breed. The longtime 4-Her has a history of success in livestock judging competitions including a win last summer at an international junior contest at the Calgary Stampede and a number of 4-H based competitions. Grant can be reached in Olds at 556-2695. For more information on Alberta 4-H judging programs, contact Henry Wiegman at Alberta Agriculture's 4-H branch
