Corn production continues to grow
by Debbie Ranney
The increase in corn
production in Ontario is one of
the most dramatic things that
has happened to Ontario
agriculture, Dr. Terry
Daynard, a professor at the
University of Guelph told a
meeting of the Huron County
Federation of Agriculture in
Londesboro recently.
lit "This has been a record
corn year," Dr. Daynard
said, citing Statistics Canada,
who show an average yield of
96 bushels to the acre.
"Corn production has
continued to go up in this
province," he said.
Dr. Daynard said it looked
as .though corn production
would continue to climb and
said this could create
problems for other small
grain crops such as barley.
He said we still have half a
million acres of small grains
in this province but that it
was dropping rapidly.
"It seems to me that more
and more of that acreage is
410
going to shift over into corn,"
he said.
"As that acreage shifts into
corn, we're going to have
more corn than demaild _for
it," he said. Professor
Daynard said increased
average could have a
damaging effect on prices.
The Ontario price here is
relative to the Chicago price
he said, and for the past few
years that• has been getting
lower and lower. He said the
Ontario. price is 50 cents
below the Chicago price and
said he imagined that's what
the future price would be.
Dr. Daynard said another
problem he sees is that we
don't have good strong grain
crops and that farmers are
going to have to start hybrid
breeding programs in the
near future.
"It looks like we're going to
have to work hard just to hole
our own," he said.
However, he suggested that
if a farmer was going to
depend on just one crop, corn
was as good a crop as any but
he added that 'corn does
better rotating with another
crop.
Dr. Daynard also talked
about the energy problem as
it related to crop farming. He
said the price of energy is the
main reason that the cost of
production of corn is going
up.
He said the cost of drying
corn right now is about 12 or
13 cents a bushel but that with
technology this could be
knocked down to 3 or 4 cents a
bushel-.
"Technology is probably
the answer," he said.
The rest of Canada was
discovering corn as well now.
Corn production in Manitoba
doubles every year and
certainly corn production in
Ontario is going to increase,
he stated.
"I think research has
contributed to this as much as
anything,"' he said.
