Sunflower Breeding Tests Underway At Halfway Farm
The High Plains Research Foundation at Halfway conducts sunflower breeding to create high yielding, mechanizable varieties for West Texas. Dr. Earl Collister leads a program using diverse types from Russia to South Africa, aiming for varieties harvestable by standard grain combines. Sunflowers offer drought tolerance and feed value, with seed useful for oil and livestock nutrition. A second note covers the Springlake FFA swine sale at Earth on July 23 featuring Hampshire Berkshire and Poland China hogs, with 35 bred sows and 45 open gilts and top breeding stock from leading herds.
