Abstract
The purpose of this study is to determine and explain the reasons
for the decline of the dairy industry in Saskatchewan. The physical
environment, historical, economic and political factors were believed
to be important in explaining its decline and were considered.
Information on the suitability of the physical environment was
obtained by examining publications on climate, soil and vegetation in
Saskatchewan and comparing the situation in Saskatchewan with major
dairy areas in eastern Canada and western Europe.
Much information on the past was obtained from the Archives in
Saskatoon, especially from the Annual Reports of the Department of
Agriculture from 1898, from documents concerning early attempts of
production and marketing and from other maps and sources listed in the
bibliography.
