Crop Yield Declines Despite Growing Canadian Acreage
Dr Tolmie, Dominion minister of agriculture, told the Canadian Club of Regina that Canada has seen a rise in cultivated acreage yet yields per acre have fallen, leaving farm production not rising as expected. He warned a three-bushel increase in wheat per acre could boost annual wealth by over 118 million dollars, urging better seed, crop rotation, and more livestock to raise yields. Weeds, gophers, and grasshoppers inflict costly losses, worth attention alongside other reforms.
