The Effects Of Swathing Wheat On The Date Of Harvest, Yield And Seed Quality, Dennis M. Tekrony, Alan Phillips, Ted Howard Feb 1976

The Effects Of Swathing Wheat On The Date Of Harvest, Yield And Seed Quality, Dennis M. Tekrony, Alan Phillips, Ted Howard

Agronomy Notes

In 1975 approximately 350,000 acres were double-cropped using small grain and soybeans in Kentucky. Due to the low acreage of winter barley (48,000 acres) most of the soybeans were either planted by no-till or conventional means following winter wheat. The major problem with winter wheat in a double-cropping system is that the date of planting for soybeans is delayed. Research at the West Kentucky Experiment Station at Princeton indicates that this delay can reduce soybean yields from 7 to 11 bushels per acre depending upon the soybean variety used. The research at Princeton also indicates no reduction in soybean yields …


Airplane-Seeded Wheat – Aid To Double Cropping, John Watts, S. H. Phillips Dec 1968

Airplane-Seeded Wheat – Aid To Double Cropping, John Watts, S. H. Phillips

Agronomy Notes

Airplane-seeding of wheat has been increasing since its start in 1965 in Fulton County, Kentucky. Over 20,000 acres were seeded in the fall of 1968, with the acreage concentrated in the Purchase and Bowling Green areas.

Farmers report these advantages for aerial seedings: (1) early establishment of small grain; (2) similar seeding cost as compared to drilling; (3) labor use in normal seeding operations diverted to other farm operations.
