Ontario has continued to produce the most significant crop for both soybeans and corn. In 2016, Ontario alone made 59.8% of national corn for grain and 49.6% of the country's soybean. As a result, both of these crops have shown a tremendous increase in the area that they are cultivated in Ontario. Crop rotation in Ontario has shown a marked increas...
Wheat and rye are the only crops produced that can make bread dough rise because of their gluten content. They provide the right balance of elasticity and the strength needed for bread dough. Needless to say, this makes it one of the most important crops to farm in Ontario. Canada as a whole is the world's largest exporter of hard red spring wheat,...
Barley is chiefly a livestock feed and is the primary feed grain in Canada, including Ontario. Barley is much better suited in the farmlands of the Canadian prairies. Hence it is the place where most of this crop is grown. This is also a good option for crop rotation with wheat as it produces a high yield, matures quickly, and is much more resistan...
Since the 1980s, Canada has steadily kept hold of a significant share in the export of oats. Many farmlands in Ontario have increasingly chosen this as their crop of choice. Oats are mainly used as fodder for animals, but the importance of oats as a healthy crop for humans is increasing day by day. In the USA, oats are used as pasture, silage, hayl...
Corn tops the cereal crop production around the world. In the Canadian farmlands, you can experience endless fields of corn as far as the eye can see. If you have been there, you probably know that it is by far one of the most heavily produced crops in the area. Ontario typically grows three types of sweet corn: standard, sugar-enhanced, and super ...
Beef cattle farming is central to Canadian agriculture. Beef farms make up about one-fourth of the total farming land in Canada. Therefore, it is one type of farming that can't be ignored. The dollar value of live cattle products ranks just below wheat and canola. Canada is also ranked amongst the world's top 10 per capita consumption and export of...
For almost a thousand years, maize has been extensively cultivated in central Canada. After the US high-yielding maize hybrids were introduced during the mid-1950s, maize was commercially produced on farmlands in Ontario. The farmlands in the southernmost regions of Ontario are exclusively growing maize. Farmers have crossed different crop breeds t...
Oilseeds in Canada are presently dominated by canola (rapeseed), which has become an increasingly valuable crop cultivated by about 80,000 farmlands. It is the second most crucial crop behind wheat. Canola is used mainly by people in Ontario in salad dressings or as a cooking oil. The residue that is collected after the refining of the oil is used ...
Sunflower is grown in a comparatively smaller portion of farmland, mainly in southern Manitoba and southeastern Saskatchewan. It has little importance as a cereal crop but serves as an excellent rotation crop for wheat that reduces pest attacks on harvests. About half of current sunflower production is used up by the confectionery market. About 30%...
Flaxseed is more commonly called linseed in North America because the word flax itself means the fibre used by the linen textile industry. This is perhaps one of the first agricultural oilseeds grown in Canada, and its fibre variant is only produced in selected parts of Canada. On the other hand, Canada is now the world's biggest exporter and produ...
