Crop tests explore fallow and seed effects on wheat yield
A 1928 update from farmers in Goulburn Valley and mallee districts details crop tests on fallow practices. Trials compared breaking ground early after harvest, selective harrowing and moisture retention, plus best seed and superphosphate application. Results show paddocks with preferential treatment yielded higher crops, with gains of 6 to 12 bushels depending on location. Trials emphasize timely fallow management, rotation, and summer prep to boost yields and soil nutrition.
