Wheat, Oats, and Barley.-Estimated Yields.
Census and Statistics Department,
Wellington, 9th February, 1937.
THE following estimated average yields per acre of wheat,
oats, and barley for the season 1936-37 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 .. 31 39 43
Nelson .. 29 38 29
Marlborough .. 37 46 43
Canterbury .. 33 42 34
Otago .. 34 39 42
Southland .. 41 51 49
Average (estimated) for
the Dominion .. 33 44 38
The above estimates may be compared with last season's
actual average yields, which were : Wheat, 35.63 bushels;
oats, 42.61 bushels; and barley, 36.08 bushels.
In accordance with the above estimates, the total yield
of wheat for the season 1936-37 should be approximately
7,150,000 bushels, as against an actual yield of 8,859,223
bushels for the season 1935-36.
The area from which oats were threshed for the five seasons
ending with 1935-36 averaged 21 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 2,700,000 bushels, as against an actual yield
of 3,302,642 bushels for the season 1935-36.
On a similar assumption in regard to barley, the total yield
of grain should be approximately 675,000 bushels, as against
an actual yield of 745,380 bushels for the season 1935-36.
