Halton Farmers Report Unexpected Good Yields
Halton farm operators are surprised by yields of winter wheat and spring grain despite low moisture. May to July rainfall ranged from four to over ten inches, with many fields producing 35 to 40 bushels per acre and some reaching 75 to 80 bushels. The Pasture Competition, led by the Halton Serulo and Crop Improvement Association, highlighted solid alfalfa feed, though some areas still suffer dryness. Corn growth is uneven. fields germinated poorly, and longer dry spells threaten pastures and crops.
