Grain and oilseed crops stored in bins undergo compaction due to overbearing pressure of the grain inside the structure. Thus, volume measurements of grain in bins need to be combined with the amount of packing (usually called pack factor) in addition to the initial density so that the mass in the structure can be calculated. Multiple pack factor prediction methods are in use in the grain industry, but they have only been validated in the literature and compared with field data for corn and hard red winter wheat. Predictions from WPACKING, the program in ASABE Standard EP413.2, and two standard …
The Effect Of Three Tillage Systems On Bulk Density And Porosity Of A Pembroke And A Beasley Soil After Three Years, Kenneth L. Wells, John H. Grove
The Effect Of Three Tillage Systems On Bulk Density And Porosity Of A Pembroke And A Beasley Soil After Three Years, Kenneth L. Wells, John H. Grove
Agronomy Notes
Many grain producers in Kentucky use a 3 crop in 2 year rotation of corn followed by small grain-soybeans, and commonly no-till the soybeans and corn in order to intensively use sloping land for continuous grain production. Because of the intensity of machinery traffic in this system, growers are concerned that continuous no-till management may cause compaction, and that such fields may need occasional primary tillage. In order to obtain' information regarding things situation, we conducted a test for 3 years on the farm of' Philip Lyvers, in Marion County, Kentucky, in a field which was being used in a …
Grain Sorghum And Soybean Variety Tests On Reconstructed Prime Land - 1985, R. I. Barnhisel, Morris J. Bitzer, William O. Thom
Grain Sorghum And Soybean Variety Tests On Reconstructed Prime Land - 1985, R. I. Barnhisel, Morris J. Bitzer, William O. Thom
Agronomy Notes
Prime farmland disturbed by surface mining must by law be returned to a productivity level equal to that before mining. The coal operator has several test crops that can be selected to determine whether these production standards have been met before final bond release will be made. Grain sorghum and soybeans are two of the crops that may be used. The purposes of this research are (1) to determine the crop yield potential of restored prime farmland from surface mined areas, (2) to determine varietal adaptation on restored prime farmland as compared to non-mined prime farmland, and (3) to provide …
A Cropping System For Intensive Grain Production On Sloping Land, Kenneth L. Wells, H. C. Vaught, Morris J. Bitzer, M. W. Russell
A Cropping System For Intensive Grain Production On Sloping Land, Kenneth L. Wells, H. C. Vaught, Morris J. Bitzer, M. W. Russell
Agronomy Notes
From the beginnings of Kentucky Agriculture, soil erosion and related losses in productivity have been major problems for Kentucky farmers. Improved soil conservation practices during the past forty years have been especially significant in the recovery and progress of our agricultural industry. No-tillage methods for crop production, which were pioneered in Kentucky, have proven useful in controlling erosion and holding production at high levels. During recent years, the marketplace has strongly encouraged grain production, with the unfortunate effect that many Kentucky hillsides have been returned to grain production without sufficient erosion control measures. This report describes innovations in use of …
1974 Preliminary Report Of Kentucky Small Grain Variety Trials At Bowling Green And Lexington, Charles Tutt, Morris J. Bitzer, Verne C. Finkner
1974 Preliminary Report Of Kentucky Small Grain Variety Trials At Bowling Green And Lexington, Charles Tutt, Morris J. Bitzer, Verne C. Finkner
Agronomy Notes
Each year the small grain variety trials are conducted at Princeton, Murray, Bowling Green and Lexington. In 1974, the plots at Princeton and Murray were severely infected with a complex of diseases including Barley Yellow Dwarf, Septoria glume blotch, wheat scab and an unidentified disease in the wheat. As a result of the intensity of these diseases, the data obtained from these plots was very erratic and the results were not considered to be experimentally valid. The data obtained at Bowling Green and Lexington were quite valid and representative of the general situation in Kentucky.

Grain Sorghum Performance Tests-1972, James H. Herbek, Morris J. Bitzer
Grain Sorghum Performance Tests-1972, James H. Herbek, Morris J. Bitzer
Agronomy Notes
Grain sorghum performance tests provide estimates of the relative performance of grain sorghum hybrids in Kentucky. These estimates, hopefully, will aid growers in their selection of a hybrid. The choice of the best grain sorghum hybrid for a given set of crop management conditions and environmental variables is an important step to profitable grain sorghum production. Hybrids should be selected that are well adapted to a given area and have records of high performance.
Grain sorghum performance tests were conducted at three locations in Kentucky in 1972. This report presents the yield and other agronomic data obtained at these locations.

Agronomy Notes
Grain sorghum varieties were evaluated at four locations (Carlisle, Daviess, Hopkins, and Todd Counties) in Kentucky in 1971.

Agronomy Notes
TEST YOUR SOIL AND SUPPLY THE SUGGESTED LIMING AND FERTILIZER MATERIALS.
A soil test is the first step to profitable small grain production. A pH of 6.0 to 6.5 is best, and nitrogen should be applied both in the fall and spring. If your small grains are part of a double cropping system the P and K requirements for both crops should be applied in the fall.

Agronomy Notes
Twenty-five grain sorghum hybrids and one variety planted May 22 were evaluated at the Western Kentucky Substation at Princeton for yield, plant height, date headed, head type and moisture. They were also evaluated at Lexington for bird damage and at the Robinson Substation for MDM.
