The 1956 acreage of oats in the province of Quebec was estimated at a little over one million three hundred thousand acres, representing approximately eleven per cent of the total Canadian oat acreage. Thus, among field crops, oats come second only to hay crops for both the acreage covered and the total farm value of the produce. Oats are grown on a wide variety of soils and under a broad range of climatic conditions, from the warm summers of the Ottawa-Montreal plain to the shorter and colder seasons of Lake St. John and Northwestern Quebec. The importance of the crop brought up the need for varietal improvement through breeding and selection.
