Wheat, Oats, and Barley.—Estimated Yields.

Census and Statistics Office,
Wellington, 6th February, 1935.

THE following estimated average yields per acre of wheat, oats, and barley for the season 1934–35 have been compiled from reports furnished by Stock Inspectors of the Department of Agriculture throughout the Dominion, and are now published for general information.

District. Wheat. Oats. Barley.
Bushels per Bushels per Bushels per
Acre. Acre. Acre.
North Island .. .. 29 35 39
Nelson .. .. .. 19 30 20
Marlborough .. .. 23 30 26
Canterbury .. .. 29 36 25
Otago .. .. .. 31 35 31
Southland .. .. 34 40 34
Average (estimated) for
the Dominion .. .. 29 37 28

The above estimates may be compared with last season’s actual average yields, which were: Wheat, 31·56 bushels; oats, 41·39 bushels; and barley, 34·77 bushels.

The wheat area for 1934–35 is estimated to be only 77 per cent. of that of 1933–34, and the total yield of wheat for the current season is expected to be approximately 6,500,000 bushels only, as against an ascertained yield of 9,036,017 bushels for the season 1933–34.

The area from which oats were threshed for the five seasons ending with 1933–34 averaged 23 per cent. of the total area under that crop. Assuming that a similar proportion is threshed this year, the total yield of grain should be approximately 2,670,000 bushels, as against 3,242,500 bushels for the season 1933–34.

On a similar assumption in regard to barley, the total yield of grain should be approximately 450,000 bushels, as against 730,963 bushels for the season 1933–34.
