County Agent Willey Details Smut Treatment Boom
County Agent L D Willey reports about fifteen Nebraska farmers earned up to 150 dollars per hour last fall treating seed wheat for smut with copper carbonate. Untreated seed showed over nine percent smut versus seven tenths of a percent with treatment, saving losses of about five dollars per acre and promising lower costs per bushel. The Burlington Wheat Smut Train, stopping in Sidney August 4-16, offers hands on guidance.
