Maryland soil expert Dr. W Allan Bandel says fall is ideal for soil testing and planning next year s fertilizer program but warns winter rain robs fall applied nitrogen especially on eastern soils. He advises fall applications be limited to phosphorus and potash and notes erosion risks on steep slopes.
Rob ert P. Pfeifer of the Penn State Agricultural Experiment Station told the International Crop Improvement Association in Rochester that hybrid wheat could boost eastern yields and create a 50 million bushel yearly seed market. He predicted Pennsylvania adoption by 1971, with trials showing 67 percent higher yields and potential 100 bushels per acre.
U.S. October 1 grain stocks fall from 1965 levels with off-farm holdings leading the decline. U.S. wheat totals reach 1.44 billion bushels, the smallest since 1952, while Pennsylvania reports 131 million bushels of wheat in all positions, up on farms but down off farms. Corn and oats show large stock declines and historically low oat reserves.
