Feed Crops to Lead Canadian Agriculture in the Seventies
Prof C E Jones of Ontario Agricultural College told the Canadian Seed Growers Association that feed crops will dominate the 1970s with barley remaining a major feed grain but facing competition from feed wheat. He sees rapeseed and soybeans as key oil and protein crops, with rapeseed likely to surpass soybeans as production grows, while farmers will aim to grow fewer crops and rely on established fertility and soil management practices.
