Flax Seed Production in Canada Through the Years
The history of flaxseed in Canada shows sporadic production from pioneer days to the present. Early yields were small, with 4,890 pounds in New France and postwar increases to a peak in 1940s when acres rose to millions, then declines in the 1990s to 243,600 acres and 632 bushels. Wartime price supports spurred planting, reaching 2,947,000 seeded acres in 1943, with 1944 crops at 9,668,000 bushels and 1945 around seven million. A government fixed price and quotas guided production, and McGregor’s study, published by the Dominion Department of Agriculture, covers flaxseed and linseed, including growing regions, harvesting, pests, and market outlook.
