Wheat Yields in Prairie Provinces Through Rainfall Years
The article notes that heavy rainfall this year should bring a strong wheat crop. It recounts historical Prairie yields since 1898, highlighting 1901 1905 1911 and 1915 as years when all three provinces reached 20 bushels per acre, with 1915 at 25.9 bushels. Alberta set a province record in 1915 at 31.1, rust hurt Manitoba and Saskatchewan in 1916 1923, rust losses since 1935 have been limited, and since 1928 the trio has not averaged 20 bushels.
