Irrigation Tests Boost Wheat Yields in Fall or Spring
J T Musick of Garden City reports one fall and one spring irrigation can approach maximum wheat yields. Fall irrigation can precede or follow planting. if not used or if early seeding for grazing, a May mid growth irrigation at boot or heading stage helps start spring growth. Excess early spring irrigation raises lodging risk. 1958 had above average spring rainfall. in drought years such as 1954 four irrigations added about 15 bushels per acre over pre-planting irrigation. Wheat yields under tested treatments ranged from 32.6 to 50.9 bushels per acre, with an average around 50.3 at four irrigations. A loaf of white bread cost about 18.3 cents in 1958, with USDA noting 2.4 cents for wheat and 0.6 cents for other ingredients. farmers donating wheat would raise bread price to about 17 cents per loaf.
