Wheat, Oats, and Barley--Estimated Yields

Census and Statistics Department,
Wellington, 5 May 1952.

THE following estimated average yields per acre of wheat,
oats, and barley for the season 1951-52 have been compiled
from reports furnished by officers of the Department of Agriculture
throughout New Zealand, and are now published for general
information:

District.

The above estimates may be compared with last season's
actual average yields, which were: Wheat, 43.33 bushels; oats,
51.05 bushels; and barley, 41.22 bushels.

In accordance with the above estimates, the total yield of
wheat for the season 1951-52 should be approximately 4,000,000
bushels, as against an ascertained yield of 6,271,928 bushels for
the season 1950-51.

The area from which oats were threshed for the five seasons
ending with 1950-51 averaged approximately 34 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 1,827,953 bushels for the season 1950-51.

On a similar assumption in regard to barley, the total yield
of grain would be approximately 1,900,000 bushels, as against
1,902,432 bushels for the season 1950-51.
