Barley Crop
The lodging of the 1968 win
ter barley crop was quite severe
on many local farms; this reduc
ed the yield and the quality of
the crop. This problem is hard
to correct because moisture con
ditions have a very important
part in the rankness of the bar
ley growth. However, in many
cases the lodging was severe be
cause of the presence of too
much fertility, especially too
much nitrogen. Growers of win
ter barley are urged to use Only
a phosphorus-potash fertilizer
this fall and not to apply any
manure on the barley crop. On
most fields the fertility is ade
quate to give ample straw length
without any extra nitrogen
