Drought Resistant Slender Wheat Grass for North Dakota
Slender wheat grass is a native prairie grass with high drought tolerance, good for dry areas, and resistant to winter. It lacks long root stocks, is easier to kill by plowing than quack grass, and yields 300 to 400 pounds per acre of seed. It makes palatable hay when cut early, and responds to discing and barnyard manure. It tolerates alkali better than timothy and often pairs well with alfalfa to improve soil and nutrition.

Crop rotation boosts wheat yields and farm profits in North Dakota
The North Dakota study shows 1906 12 yields on demonstration farms rose 26 percent in a good year and 10 1 8 percent in a favorable year, while state averages rose 19 and 6 percent respectively. Long term rotation raises per acre yields to about twenty bushels, with profitability improving even in poor years. A two fifths in wheat rotation can yield higher net income than continuous wheat, provided other crops cover costs.

Seed Potatoes Experiment Yields Insights From North Dakota
Report by E G Scholland er superintendent of Williston Substation North Dakota describes a 1912 field trial planted May 11 on land with prior potato crop. Seed sizes included whole and cut to one to three eyes. Results show large whole seed gave highest yields over four years, while large seed cut to one eye performed worst. Economically two or three eye cuts offer better returns due to seed cost.
