Planting Of Improper Seed Costs Dakotas Farmers
Farmers in North and South Dakota lose large sums yearly by planting unadapted or mixed small grain seed. A survey of 1281 samples showed 25 percent of hard red spring wheat unfit for planting, durum wheat 73 percent not recommended, barley and oats poor or of unknown varieties. The Better Grain meetings, backed by state colleges and USDA, aim to standardize varieties and improve seed purity, though work remains to reach ideal purity and market suitability.
