The wheat yield from Grow Hope in 2024 was 2,610 bushel from 41 acres = 63.6 bushel/acre.
While the field was planted late in the fall of 2023, it could have yielded better as some later fields in the area were stronger. But sometimes the land delivers its own return on its own terms. Canadian Food Grains Bank was able to contract some of our wheat at the strong price of $8.68/bushel. So the 63.6 bushel/acre gives a dollar yield of $552.04/acre or $22,633.64 for the whole project. We are thankful for all who contributed to this year's efforts and hope for another year of good cropping this spring. Message from MCC Ontario and Canadian Food Grains Bank
