Combines Rolling-,
Between Rains
Combines began roll.log again in
the Perkins area Tuesday tn
wheat and barley fields after
rains forced an eight-day layoff.
Workers in Ahrberg elevator re-
ports trucks began coming in a-
round 2 p.m. Tuesday afternoon,
and around 8,000 bushels of wheat
were dumped at the elevator that
evening.
Despite heavy rains, moisture
content on the grain is low enough
lo be considered "good," elevator
workers said. Vv'heat weight is
averaging around 59-60 pounds, an
encouraging note for farming.
Barley weight is running from
40-44 pounds per bushel, slightly
under ideal weight.
Wheat yields are running con-
siderably beller than farmers had
anticipated, generally. Several
farmers were reporting yields of
30 bushels of wheat lo li~ acre.
Wayne Allen reported barley
which made 40 bushels to the acre.
