Predict Crop Yields From Soil Tests In Manitoba
Agricultural note from Wendell Wight outlines how following cereal crop fertilizer recommendations based on soil tests can forecast spring yields. Under favorable moisture and strong cultural practices, nitrogen levels of 22 pounds per acre or more predict 39 bu/acre wheat or 63-70 bu/acre barley, with adjustments for low nitrogen and cost considerations.

Vitamins in Juices Guide From Canadian Tests
Canadian Consumer tests show frozen orange juice concentrate offers the most vitamin C per dollar, with canned orange and grapefruit juice next. Reconstituted juice loses vitamin C after three days, synthetic powders lose about 55% in fridge, and larger tins give better value. Fresh oranges aren’t the cheapest vitamin C source for a value conscious family.
