The search is on for record crops

摘要

Record-yielding wheat crops last summer and free soil tests could prompt a bigger field of entries for this year's top yield competition run by crop science company ADAS. A lot more interest in the contest has been seen so far by ADAS this year from arable growers encouraged by better-than-expected yields seen last year. Of the two grower winners in 2013, Mark Means grew what is believed to be the highest yield of a breadmaking wheat variety, while Robert Pask produced a crop that yielded nearly 70%of its potential.
