Spelt as a Wheat Substitute in Ohio Farming
Spelt may substitute for winter wheat with oats as a drill target at eight to 12 pecks per acre. It threshes with hulls, delaying germination. dry seed requires deeper sowing. Spelt yields are lower than oats or wheat, contains 20 to 30 percent hulls, and offers limited insect resistance and no certified seed. Harvest resembles wheat with adjusted concaves. It is mainly grown as a feed grain and has seen success in Lorain County. Some seed may be available from local farmers.

Stable debts mean cash for farmer
Edgewater Park, Wiss. Farmers should balance long term and short term debts to cut interest. Don Is Bushnell of the Farm Credit Administration says keeping capital debts low cost boosts savings. He spoke at the Federal Land Bank of New Orleans meeting serving Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi. The FCA oversees 12 farmer owned land banks and 773 local associations. In the year ending June 30, farmers borrowed 635 million dollars, up 11 percent, with over 361,000 farmers holding nearly 3 billion in loans. The land banks now carry about one fifth of the national farm mortgage debt.
