Michigan Farmers Urged to Increase Wheat Acreage 17 Percent
Michigan farmers are urged to raise winter wheat acreage by 17 percent over this year's harvested area. The goal is 1 050 000 acres, up from 900 000 the previous year, to alleviate low stockpiles that shut mills. An MSU expert advises planting all red or all white varieties to ease loading and seed certification, and recommends certified seed and Ceresan treatment to prevent smut.
