Remarkable wheat plant yields 142 heads in Botetourt field
A Botetourt County Virginia farmer found a single wheat plant with 142 heads. By sowing its seed over years the crop expanded from 16 bushels in 1906 to 600 bushels this season. The variety shows two to three times normal yield under similar care and milling tests suggest strong quality. The Russian Government has optioned the wheat and plans to buy 80 million bushels once grown. Seed will be distributed to Virginia and North Carolina farmers next year to scale production toward 30 million bushels by fall.
