from Agricultural Review of the Year 1922
Seeds hay gave a total crop of only 1,732,000 tons, which is the smallest production since 1893, and about 400,000 tons less than in 1921. The yield per acre of 22.7 cwts is 1 3/4 cwts. less than last year, and 5 3/4 cwts. below the ten-year average. It will be understood that these figures apply to the area of seeds actually cut for hay, and take no account of the area of seeds ploughed up. Yields were very light in practically every county, though they were relatively better in the North and in Wales, than in other parts of the country.
