Meado w Conversion of Drift Land into Ryecorn Meadow
Mr T M Batley reports turning twenty year drift land into a meadow on Whygoon near Paratoo about 100 miles north of Burra. Long Ryecorn strips, grown from bare drift for 25 years, reach around five feet high with minimal rain. Soil drift edges banked, but herbage appears promising. Ryecorn resembles wheat and is touted as stock fodder from the dust bowl era. It is said Ryecorn may not need annual planting.
