Should Plant Lespedeza Be Planted Now for Seed Harvest
Farmers in Hemp s Bread county are urged to consider lespedeza seed production. Seed must be harvested within days of the first killing frost to prevent shattering, with Arkansas farmers spending about $1,000,000 on seed since 1934. Yields around 3 pounds per acre promise profit over hay, per Charles F. Simmons of the University of Arkansas College of Agriculture. Many farmers harvest with improvised gear, and county agents offer harvesting methods and equipment guidance. 8. D. Cook plans to harvest 20 acres Kobe lespedeza, using a seed pan attached to a mower and a seed cleaning machine available at a reasonable rate. Russia holds about 72 percent of the world’s reserve of heat.
