The most important Manitoba crop continues to be wheat, which accounts for more than 40% of crop production value. Canola and flaxseed follow close behind in terms of production value, while barley, oats and rye are also significant crops in Manitoba. Even though grain production is dominant in Manitoba, agriculture in that province is more diversified when compared to other provinces in the Prairies.
Manitoba leads in Canadian production of flaxseed, sunflower seeds, buckwheat and field peas. The total value of agricultural production in Manitoba was estimated to be $2.7 billion in 1996 (crop production accounted for $1.6 billion and livestock, $1.1 billion).
