Summary
The USDA FAS GAIN New Zealand Grain and Feed Market Situation report reproduces the NZ arable crop yields reported by the Foundation for Arable Research (FAR), including per-hectare yields for wheat, barley and maize. It is the clean primary for the feed-grain yield the model needs to make local-feed eggs consume arable land (RT_406) rather than being free.
Key claims
- claim: "NZ ARABLE CROP YIELDS (t/ha = MT/Ha, FAR-reported, two recent seasons). Feed Barley 7.2 then 7.0; Malting Barley 8.0 then 6.9; Feed Wheat 10.1 then 9.8; Milling Wheat 8.8 then 8.5; Maize Grain 12.0 then 11.2. NZ (esp. Canterbury) sets world-record wheat yields. [verified against the raw: Feed Barley 7.2/7.0, Feed Wheat 10.1/9.8, Maize Grain 12.0/11.2 confirmed in the crop-yield table]"
source_location: "Crop production / yield table (Total Yield MT | Area Ha | Yield MT/Ha columns)."Model use
- Fills the feed-grain yield for RT_406. Recommended: feed barley ~7 t/ha (the typical layer-feed grain) OT_226. At ~45 kg feed/hen/yr, local-feed land ≈ ~64 m2/hen (0.0064 ha), so local-feed eggs draw arable land instead of being SSI-free. Maize (~11 t/ha) or feed wheat (~10 t/ha) if a different feed base is assumed.
Research targets
No new research targets. Resolves RT_406 (feed-grain yield for local hen-feed land).
