Wheat test yields show little difference among varieties
A year long wheat demonstration at Clyde McConnaughey’s North Mahoning farm compared four varieties Pennsylvania 44 Parkoff Forward and Fultz. Yields ranged 21 to 22 bushels per acre for the top three with Forward Parkoff and Pennsylvania 44 leading. Fertilizer trials showed 9.6 to 22.1 bushels per acre with 2-12-4 giving the highest return, raising talk of seed availability and stinking smut appearing in Indiana county. An August 29 Fruit Growers Tour will tour orchards in Armstrong and Elders Ridge with talks by Penn State experts.
