Blessing in disguise seed harvest follows labor shortage
Abner Veitch of Wilkinson threshed 100 acres of alfalfa that went to seed due to lack of labor. He now has over 360 bushels of prime alfalfa seed ready for market valued at 30 to 70 cents per pound. The seed could far surpass the crop’s value, and Veitch could not get timely cutting, turning the shortage into a bumper seed yield.
