Variation in crops among triangle farms emphasized
The wheat crop remains the principal cash crop with summer fallow still popular but not exclusive. Stubbling and cultivation without plowing will reduce soil blowing, hundreds of trench silos will be dug, and flood irrigation interest has agencies seeking guidance. Extension specialists say dry land farms could irrigate up to 100 percent of acres with yields rivaling irrigated areas. Over 10 000 bulletins were requested after the demonstration train visit.
