Farmers Urged to Use Only U-Tested Seeds
County Agricultural Agent F. L. Liebenstein urges farmers to plant only seed varieties tested by the University of Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station for 1953. The station tests both in house and external varieties, with annual recommendations set at the Crops and Soils Conference. The report lists approved grains and warns against untested imports like Clintafe and U-205. Henry wheat remains popular as a high yielding feed option, while new race 15 B resistant wheat is not yet available. Barley focus remains on malting varieties, especially Kindred, with Montcalm noted for malting but not recommended due to weak straw and disease risk.
