Formaldyhyde Seedwheat Use Questioned by Pendleton Farmer
John Bahr a prominent Pendleton farmer says only about 380 percent of this year’s Umatilla county wheat has been sold. He notes most sales come from farmers near Pendleton Adams and Athens, while distant areas hold grain as markets fell. Prices ranged from 45 to 60 cents per bushel with much smutty wheat. Bahr approves formaldehyde treatment if timed with favorable post sowing conditions and insists sowing not be delayed beyond two days after treatment.
