Interesting that they are tracking average since 1998 and not calculating the average against the 1980's and majority of the 1990's.
I've noticed in year's past that once we get the Ontario numbers that the overall western basin per hectare average typically goes up.
Any way you slice it, 2017 wasn't a bust like 2016 was, so we're on the right track!
