Sommaire en anglais
According to the 1981 Census, Ontario had 11,466,000 acres of improved land. The area planted to crops has been increasing by 1 percent per annum. Acreages planted to corn, soybeans, wheat and barley have been increasing, while hay, oats and mixed grain acreages have been declining.
The regional differences from the provincial norms are : a decrease in barley acreage in Southern Ontario, significant growth rates in soybean production in Western and Central Ontario, an increase in mixed grain acreage in Eastern Ontario, and in the North an increase in hay acreage and no soybean production.
