Grain, Hay Production Drops In PEI. In 1965
Prince Edward Island live- stock producers are down slight- ly more than 2,500,000 bushels of grain this vear for their '.ve- stock. theyre short 120000 tons of hay
The loss is charged to the lack of moisture which lasted through the growing season
Up to now there has been spec- ulation this year comparing the yields of zrain and hay with those of 1964, but this is an offi- cial estimate. It came to the Guardian from S.C. Wright, de- puty minister of agriculture
The production of “oats for grain’’ — thatiis how the official estimate terms it — was 3.519,- WM hushels this vear. It was 5,- 172,000 a year ago
Mixed gre'r ~roduction year was 1,998,000 bushels and 't was 2.627.000 a year ago
Barley production this-ear was 433,000 bushels. It was 582,- 300 bushels last year
Estimated hay production this vear was 246.0“ tons. It was 564 000 tons in 1964 :
There is s*** some spring wheat crown This year’s cr of 97,000 bushels compared wi 132,000 bushels in 1964.
POTATO YIELDS
The official estimate in potato yields this year is that 6,956,000 hundredweights were produc- ed. This compares with 8,362,000 hundredweights a year ago.
Put potato yields are usually thought of in bushels here on Prince Edward Island. So that’s approximately 11,600,000 bushels of potatoes this year, compared to approximately 13,953,000 bu- shels in the 1964 crop.
Production of field roote is down sharply with the 26,000
