GFO: Market Utilization Overview

Grain Farmers of Ontario distributed a Market Utilization Overview pamphlet with the February edition of Ontario Grain Farmer magazine.

The Market Utilization Overview is a resource for understanding the end-use markets for Ontario barley, corn, oats, soybeans, and wheat. In 2016, more than 13 million metric tonnes of these crops were produced on six million acres of land, generating $9 billion in economic output and more than 40,000 jobs in the province.
