Seed quality and germination tests urged for 1968 crop
Farmers are warned that wet weather and heavy frosts lowered yields and seed value in 1966. A Manitoba drill-box survey found over 50 percent used poor seed, with weed seeds in some samples. Germination tests on 6,000 seed samples show over 40 percent below 75 percent germination. Recommend germination testing and exchanging homegrown seed for certified seed via overdelivery quotas to ensure better yields this fall.
