A World report on Canada as Britain’s granary cites Manitoba figures. It argues 37,006,000 acres farmable could support 116,000 families on 320 acres each, with 27,000 farmers to date, potentially enabling 89,000 more wheat growers. At 100 acres per farmer yielding 20 bushels per acre, Manitoba alone could meet Britain’s wheat needs if funded. Additional land in Assiniboia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan is noted along with a memory quote from Dryden.
