Manilla Wheat Contest Yields Strong Ford Varieties
The Manilla District Wheat Competition awarded top points to Heywood for Ford wheat crop and noted strong entries from Heywood, Reynolds, Bowman, Nixon, Cummins, and Hughes. Judges highlighted Ford as late to develop and urged trial of early, quick maturing wheats like Pua No. 4 and Early Bird amid a dry season and fields ranging from 160 to 455 acres with yields around 20 to 24 bushels per acre and overall regional optimism for Upper Manilla valley crops.
