What Farm Mechanization Has Meant To Canada
The 1956 Canadian farm machinery market reached 182 million, up from 47.7 million in 1940 and 2182 million in 1950, with 1952 at 2503 million. The postwar purchase surge boosted implements and equipment as a share of farm investment, while land and buildings declined from 76.8% in 1936 to 65.9% in 1950. Ontario led purchases, the Prairie Provinces dominated growth, and machinery per 100 farms rose significantly especially for trucks tractors and combines.
