Huge wheat yields by eliminating weak links: ONTARIO FARMERS MAY LEARN FROM ENGLISH AND NEW ZEALANDER PRODUCTION PRACTICES

摘要

WANT SUBSTANTIALLY BETTER wheat yields without significantly increasing your production costs? Ontario farmers, help is here - in the form of intensive wheat production experts like Phil Needham. "Some Ontario wheat growers have already seen field averages of 120 to 140 bushels per acre and 160 plus bushels per acre regions have been observed on calibrated yield monitors," says the ownec of Kentucky-based Needham Ag Technologies. "Raising 100 plus bushels per acre wheat yields, while keeping inputs close to or the same as previous levels, may simply be a matter of uncovering the weak links within your management system and strengthening them." Needham says most growers will find they have two or three significant yield-limiting factors, but others may have a higher number of smaller ones.
