Iowa Farmer Bets on Saskatchewan Lands for Profit
Mr. George H. Barr of Iowa holds seven Saskatchewan sections, fenced and rented for pasture or cultivation. He notes Iowa land at $150 an acre yields only 2 to 3 percent annually, while Saskatchewan crops bring large returns. His 1915 wheat crop paid eight five percent on invested capital. 1916 yields show 1,643 bushels from a quarter section at 1.56 a bushel, with seed and costs deducted. Barr cites other Iowa farmers who flourished in Saskatchewan and prefer ownership over tenancy, advocating livestock and seasonal feeding strategy.
