Wheat, Oats, and Barley.—Estimated Yields

Census and Statistics Department,
Wellington, 9th February, 1944.

THE following estimated average yields per acre of wheat, oats, and barley for the season 1943–44 have been compiled from reports furnished by Stock Inspectors of the Department of Agriculture throughout the Dominion, and are now published for general information.

The above estimates may be compared with last season’s actual average yields, which were: Wheat, 34·21 bushels; oats, 49·90 bushels; and barley, 36·91 bushels.

In accordance with the above estimates, the total yield of wheat for the season 1943–44 should be approximately 7,700,000 bushels, as against an ascertained yield of 9,819,342 bushels for the season 1942–43.

The area from which oats were threshed for the five seasons ending with 1942–43 averaged 22 per cent. of the total area under that crop. Assuming that a similar proportion is threshed this year, the total yield of grain would be approximately 2,100,000 bushels, as against a yield of 2,808,774 bushels for the season 1942–43.

On a similar assumption in regard to barley, the total yield of grain would be approximately 1,120,000 bushels, as against 1,057,608 bushels for the season 1942–43.
