Big Winter Wheat Crop Seen In Nebraska For 1966
The Nebraska Grain Improvement Association forecasts a 1966 winter wheat yield of 79.9 million bushels, up about 24 million from 1965 and above the 5-year average. Fall planted acres were 3.196 million, five percent below 1964, with heavy September rains delaying planting and causing replanting on some fields. Despite late planting, good germination, moisture reserves, and strong root growth left the crop in dormancy in excellent condition.
