Canadian Wheat Board Wheat Pool Account Earnings 1997-2012

Each of the CWB’s Annual Reports contains a separate section on the financial results of the wheat, durum, barley, and designated barley pools. The bottom line item for each pool is “earnings for distribution.”

“Earnings for distribution” is what the CWB distributed to farmers and included the extra income the CWB earned on credit sales and other things minus operating expenses.

Here are the “Earning for Distribution” for the wheat pool account from the CWB’s Annual Reports:
