This Calculator estimates yield for wheat, barley, oats, canola, flax, peas, alfalfa and bromegrass based on stored soil moisture at seeding plus average annual rainfall for your area. From the drop down menus, select your NRFZ climate zone, soil texture and anticipated rainfall. The estimated yields will be displayed as yield for stored soil moisture only, and yield for stored soil moisture plus rainfall.

The calculator was developed by Don Poisson and Rigas Karamanos based on Westco Fertilizer research trials, updated in the mid-2010s, and verified with recent trials.
These results are yield estimates based on an average of research trials. Actual yields may vary depending on location, rainfall timing and duration, and other environmental factors.
