Greater Efficiency in Western Canada Agriculture
The nation wide push for more agricultural efficiency reaches remote farms as Western Canada lures settlers with low land prices and high potential yields. With wheat profits rising above two dollars per bushel, farmers can gain large returns on $15 to $25 an acre land, aided by tax exemptions and reduced railway rates. Investors report rapid payback, sometimes 60 to 100 percent in a year, as the government promotes grain production and settlement opportunities.
