      abstract = {The level and distribution of the social benefits from  public investment in Canadian wheat breeding research and  extension activities are examined for the period 1946 to  1979. In addition, average and marginal rates of return are  calculated. The results reveal that society has benefited  substantially from such public investments, with producers  receiving the greatest share of the benefits.},
