Description
The design was executed by Mr. Ernst Roch of Montreal, an internationally known artist and designer. In the upper left corner of this stamp is a symbol to represent one to the primary sectors of Canadian economy. This 5 cents stamp portrays a head of wheat as a tribute to Canada's agriculture. The importance of agriculture in the Canadian economy is evidented by the fact that close to 300,000 square miles, or some 11% of the land mass of the provinces was used for the agricultural purposes. Agricultural production has increased greatly. This is accomplished by the use of modern methods and equipment. Another major factor in the increasing production rate is the activity of the federal and provincial departments of Agriculture. Over the years, these organizations have assisted Canadian farmers by ensuring price stability, credit provisions, crop insurance, and resource development. They have also provided information and guidance to farmers and made major contributions to the effective marketing of Canadian farm production.
