Lucerne and Grass Planting Boosts Stock Growers
In the autumn of 1929 an area of about 30 acres of lucerne and grass was planted on cultivated land. The venture, aided by 112 pounds of superphosphate per acre, yielded strong returns with per acre rates noted for lucerne and Wimmera Eye varieties. Additional sowings of 45 acres in 1931 and 180 acres later, plus a reserve of hay, followed. The District Inspector of Agriculture reports settling lucerne and Wimmera Rye at specified rates with super phosphate up to 1 cwt per acre in autumn, with adjustments for wheat planting in February to March.
