Barley Harvest Yields High Straw Output Despite Lodging
Eight acres yielded 30 000 pounds of grain averaging 78 bushels per acre while 1125 bales of straw were produced average 140 bales per acre. Growers noted severe lodging and a freak late spring wind, with fertilizer residue and moisture contributing to dense straw and robust heads.
