While the pasture acreage cut for hay in the Dominion increased last season, there was a decrease in the area cut for ensilage, compared with the previous season. Last season’s total was 80,595 tons, whereas 92,271 acres were cut in the 1933-34 season, according to official figures.
The average price a bale of all the wool sold in New Zealand during the 1934-35 New Zealand selling season was £9 7/2, as compared with an average return of £l6 8/8 in the 193334 season. The outlook for the coming wool season, however, shows a marked improvement, and it is confidently anticipated that last season’s returns will be exceeded by a reasonable margin.
There were 54,012 acres harvested for perennial ryegrass seed production last season, yielding 17,117,118 bushels', as compared with 38, 989 acres in 1933-34, which yielded 12,666,570 bushels.
