Early wheat harvest advised to beat full ripening
Report by Mr Ellsworth urges cutting wheat about two weeks before full ripeness based on experiments in England and county. Results show 3 weeks before ripe yields best bushel weight and flour quality, with 15 percent gain on floor, plus improved straw weight. Mediterranean wheat praised for fly and rust resistance and earlier sowing advantages.
