Each crop year runs from August 1 and is measured from its own first week, so years at different price levels line up. The dashed line is the middle of the last ten crop years at each point, and half of those years fell inside the shaded range. A record of past years, not a forecast.

What these prices are
The Government of Saskatchewan publishes a weekly average price for each crop and grade on Saskatchewan's Dashboard, released each Wednesday. It's a provincial average gathered from several sources. GrainPosition reads it each day at midday, so a new week shows here on Wednesday or Thursday.
They're a record of where prices have been, not advice on when to sell. Your own buyer's bid is the number to sell on.
