Durum Wheat Boosts Western Spring Planting and Yields
The Haskin Letter describes how Durum wheat from Russia, adapted to western conditions, has transformed spring planting. When prices soared, farmers expanded durum cultivation, yielding up to twice as much as old varieties in key regions like Edg eley and Highmore. Mills adapted to grind the hard grain, expanding products such as macaroni and spaghetti produced domestically. The eight year data show durum doubling yields over standard wheats in several plains regions, with regional advantages varying by rainfall. The article notes the broader impact on American Agriculture and trade as a deliberate modernization effort supported by government research.
