Farm Review Now and Year Ago
In the June issue of Current Review of Agricultural Conditions in Canada the Economics Division notes that western farmers planned to raise wheat acreage by about three million acres in 1949, with reductions in coarse grains and flaxseed. Ontario expected less wheat and more coarse grains, while May to June warmth aided growth in the Prairies though moisture reserves weaken. Cattle marketing rose while beef and other stock sales fell. dairy output and prices showed gains, but some milk products shifted from butter to other uses. Nova Scotia apples look better than average. Ontario and Quebec frost and wet weather caused damage. British Columbia crop prospects vary. Potato plantings expected to drop in Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. Farm wage rates remain high to meet inter-provincial demand.
