From Oats to Gas A shift in farm power in Canada
The piece outlines a decades long transition from horses to tractors on Canadian farms, noting census figures: horses fell from 3.5 million in 1921 to 785 thousand by 1956, tractors rose from under 50 thousand to 500 thousand by 1956, and farm population and labor force declined. It emphasizes census data as the only reliable record of power machinery in use versus sales data.
