was 62.56 bushels per acre. This
compared with previous “top 10”
averages of 62.87 bushels per acre

time state record.
By contrast, the statewide
average yield for all Maryland
soybeans last year was 32 bushels
per acre, tying the previous yield
record set in 1978. This compared
with statewide yield averages of 29
bushels per acre in 1984 and 1982.
The 1983 statewide average was 26
bushels per acre, according to the
Maryland-Delaware Crop
Reporting Service.
The official Maryland soybean
yield contest has been conducted
regularly for 15 years as part of the
crop improvement programs of the

says Bill Brown, product manager.
Duration 6 is the first and only
chlorpyrifos collar for cats. With a
specially approved 3 percent
concentration of chlorpyrifos,
Duration 6 kills both fleas and ticks
up to 6 months.
According to Schering, Duration
6 is the longest acting cat collar
available in the United States. It
gives cats the same degree of flea
protection that dogs have enjoyed
for years, Brown adds.
