Developing New Varieties From Small Grain Samples
The report for Salusty notes farm folk show growing interest in creating new grain varieties from tiny samples distributed by Cookie Agricultural College. Many sow seed near homesteads or hedges, reducing results due to sparrows. Some high performers are being registered and seed from the college will be harvested in West Australia. Selections are made for next season and over 100 cross areas are to drill in. The area per variety is small so published yields are not yet possible. larger plots results will be reported after harvest.
