Cultivation of Wheat and Seed Selection Insights
The Victoria Journal of Agriculture surveys wheat cultivation. Seed purity and variety selection depend on soil, climate, and farm needs. Tests at Hatherglen and Longerenong show wide yield variation among varieties. Considerations include forage use, maturity, disease resistance, and maintaining vigor through careful selection and propagation.

Seed grading and variety selection for wheat yields
A long report explains that reliance on new seed varieties across climates often harms farming. It argues farmers should test locally grown wheat by maturity, select three best varieties, and improve them by systematic selection. Experiments from Ontario and Wyuna show large plump grains outperform shriveled grains, with notable yield gains from graded seed and normal to Grade II differences.

Grading Grain Seeds Boosts Value and Efficiency
The text argues that separating commercial grain from seed grade through grading increases profit per acre. It notes that damaged grain has little seed value but can be salvaged for seed use after grading. A good grader removes weed parts and debris, improves quality, and can justify the investment through higher yields and prices. It suggests co operative or community purchase of a machine and possible local installations to aid farmers after harvest.
