Purcell Advice on Wheat in Clarke County Fields

County agent Jones Purcell outlines soil and rotation practices to maximize wheat yields in Clarke County. Good seed beds, organic matter, and well drained subsoil are essential, with barnyard manure and acid phosphate as core fertilizers. Rotate with legumes, plant after cotton, and use home grown, clean seed treated for smut. Sow three to four pecks per acre between October 15 and November 15 using Purple Straw Georgia Red or Jaana Prolific.
