Profitable Growth Of Wheat Studied In The County
Morgan county farmer Mr. Holmes argues wheat can help meet the 25 percent cover requirement under the 1941 AAA program. County Agent B G Hall notes Holmes harvested about 200 bushels from 11.1 acres in 1941 and believes 15 bushels per acre is a viable feed crop. He urges many Morgan farmers to use wheat for part of their cover or to substitute for other requirements within the 16 acre per farm limit, warning wheat allotment farms face penalties for overages.
