The wheat cleaning area is undoubtedly one of the most important sections of the mill and nothing is more important to the realization of good milling results from sound wheat, than proper cleaning and tempering of the grain.

L'atelier de nettoyage du blé est sans aucun doute l'un des plus importants du moulin et on ne saurait surestimer l'importance d'un bon nettoyage et d'un bon conditionnement du grain si l'on veut obtenir un haut rendement.

(...) Although Thatcher never reached the prominence of Marquis, it retained its importance much longer than Marquis. Since 1939 Thatcher has been Canada's most important variety. In 1954, about 69% of the wheat area of Western Canada was planted to this variety. Thatcher has been replaced gradually by new varieties that are more resistant to stem rust and leaf rust. In spite of its lack of resistance to some of the new strains of rust, in 1959 it was still the main variety in Alberta and the second variety in Saskatchewan, and formed 48.6% of the wheat area of Western Canada.

[...] Bien que le Thatcher n'ai jamais eu le prestige du Marquis, il a conservé sa popularité plus longtemps que ce dernier. Depuis 1939, il est devenu la variété la plus importante du Canada et, en 1954, il couvrait environ 69 p. 100 des superficies emblavées de l'Ouest. Peu à peu, de nouvelles variétés plus résistantes à la rouille noire et à la rouille brune l'ont supplanté. En dépit de son manque de résistance à certaines nouvelles races de rouille, en 1959 il constituait encore la principale variété en Alberta et venait au second rang en Saskatchewan. Dans l'ensemble, il était cultivé sur 48,6% de la zone productrice de blé de l'Ouest canadien.

World wheat area has stabilized at just over 228 million hectares. Yield per hectare has increased markedly in many countries over the past 25 years. For the United States, yield has increased by almost 60% and in China it has more than doubled. These increases are in distinct contrast to what is seen in a few other areas of the world where yields remain low. Improves soil and water management, fertilizer use, pest control, improved varieties, better choice of land, power machinery and other technological improvements have been major factors in increased yield. In recent years, yields in most countries have levelled off. In contrast, yields in India, Mexico, Pakistan and some other developing countries continue to rise. There is reason to believe that yields can be raised in nearly all countries by using modern agronomic practices based on agricultural research.

Les emblavures mondiales se sont stabilisées à un peu plus de 228 millions d'hectares. Au cours des 25 dernières années, les rendements par hectare ont sensiblement augmenté dans de nombreux pays. Aux Etats-Unis, les rendements se sont accrus de près de 60% et, en Chine, ils ont plus que doublé. Ces augmentations contrastent singulièrement avec ce que l'on observe dans quelques autres régions du monde où les rendements demeurent faibles. Parmi les facteurs qui ont le plus contribué à l'accroissement des rendements, il faut mentionner l'amélioration des sols cultivés et l'irrigation, l'emploi d'engrais chimiques, de pesticides et de variétés améliorées, un meilleur choix de terre, la mécanisation de l'agriculture et d'autres progrès techniques. Au cours des dernières années, les rendements se sont stabilisés dans la plupart des pays. Toutefois, dans des pays comme l'Inde, le Mexique, le Pakistan et d'autres pays en voie de développement, ils continuent de croître. Il y a lieu de croire que l'on peut augmenter les rendements dans presque tous les pays en recouvrant aux méthodes agronomiques modernes fondées sur la recherche agricole.

OBS

Le terme emblavure est surtout employé au pluriel.

In Western Canada all wheat seeded area is projected to decline by eight per cent to 11.5 million hectares (Mha). Spring wheat area is forecast to decrease from 10.4 Mha in 1996 to 9.3 Mha in 1997 largely due to lower expected returns and high carry-over stocks from 1996-97. In addition, higher relative returns should cause a small shift from CWRS to CPS varieties. The bulk of the decline in wheat area is expected to shift into oilseed crops. A small increase in summerfallow is also projected, in the dark brown and brown soil zones, despite the prospect of above average spring soil moisture based on current snow cover.
