Early Seeding Reduces Rust and Boosts Wheat Yields
At Brandon Experimental Farm early seeding proves crucial for rust reduction if frost damage is not severe. Wheat sown April 19 1929 yielded about twice as much as May 20 sowing, and earlier grain weighed four pounds per bushel more. Dominion Seed Branch tests show Manitoba seed purity improved when grain loads from local elevators are grown, warning against mixed varieties due to volunteer wheat. The remedy is to grow the same wheat variety between summer fallow years.
