Experimental Work At Longerenong College Wheat Trials
Experimental work at Longerenong College reports 120 acres used for wheat farming tests in the Wimmera. It covers wheat variety trials, sowing times, grazing effects, fallow cultivation, mineral and zinc trials, seed and manure distributors, and oat experiments. The 1938 season endured severe drought with 8.5 inches of rain to mid November, yielding light outputs or none for oats, but data will show variety performance under extreme conditions.
