Wheat, Oats, and Barley.—Estimated Yields
Census and Statistics Department,
Wellington, 12th February, 1946.
THE following estimated average yields per acre of wheat,
oats, and barley for the season 1945–46 have been compiled
from reports furnished by officers of the Department of Agriculture
throughout the Dominion, and are now published for general
information :—
District. Wheat. Oats. Barley.

North Island .. .. 38 41 49
Marlborough .. .. 33 38 39

Canterbury .. .. 31 42 45
Otago .. .. 40 52 40
Southland .. .. 48 59 38
Average (estimated) for —
the Dominion .. 33 48 43
The above estimates may be compared with last season's
actual average yields, which were : Wheat, 38·02 bushels ; oats,
54·18 bushels; and barley, 37·11 bushels.
In accordance with the above estimates, the total yield of
wheat for the season 1945–46 should be approximately 5,400,000
bushels, as against an ascertained yield of 6,992,204 bushels for
the season 1944–45.
The area from which oats were threshed for the five seasons
ending with 1944–45 averaged 25 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 2,400,000
bushels, as against a yield of 4,209,143 bushels for the season 1944–45.
On a similar assumption in regard to barley, the total yield
of grain would be approximately 2,100,000 bushels, as against
1,384,957 bushels for the season 1944–45.
