- randomdata 2y agoThe Canadian Wheat Board (CWB), which only ever served the prairie provinces, was sold off. The Ontario Wheat Board is still in operation (now known as Grain Farmers of Ontario) and declared an end to the single desk in 1999, which was phased out by the early 2000s. GFO continued to run an optional pool until the 2020 crop year, but that has now also come to an end. I can't imagine anyone was still using it. It was a product of a bygone era.
