Page 26—Com Talk, Lancaster Farming, Saturday, April 17,1993 Growers (Continued from Page 25) The overall average for 1991-1992 was 164 bushels for 20-inch rows, and 157 bushels for 30-inch rows. This represents a difference of seven bushels, or 4.5 percent. In all five environments, the response of population to row width was similar. At every popu lation level tested, 20-inch rows were superior to 30-inch rows when averaged across hybrids. The response of hybrids to York Grain Sign-Up Under Way YORK (York Co.) Yoik County officials of the USDA Agricultural Stabili zation and Conserva tion Service have announced that far mers can sign up for the 1993 Wheat and Feed Grain program through the end of the month. According to Way ne Beshore, chairman of the York County ASC committee, and Lewisberry farmer, said, “York County farmers who enroll in this voluntary prog ram receive a price support on grain in case market prices stay soft.” Deficiency pay ments are issued to participants when national average market prices fall below levels estab lished by Congress. For com, the target price is $2.75 per bushel, while wheat is $4 per bushel. Grain program par ticipants receive the difference between the target price and the national average price for com from September 1993 through January 1994, and on wheat from June 1993 to October 1993. York County far mers interested in the program should con tact the ASCS office at 120 Pleasant Acres Road in York, or call (717) 755-2801. Those in other counties should inquire about the program at their local ASCS office. w ** /v 1 I*' A fe *ifl( Yi/ar Im I w Become Narrow-Minded population was similar in all five environments. With few excep tions, yields increased at each higher population. In four of the five environments, hybrids re sponded similarly to the row width treatment, always yielding more when grown in 20-inch rows. But at Johnston in 1992, hy brids differed in their response. One hybrid yielded three bushels less in 20-inch rows, and the other (Turn to Page 28) ■V-* ■ Flexible and durable on all types of terrain. ■ All bolted and welded construction. ■ High strength alloy rear support. ■ Standard 667 H pintle apron chains. ■ All steel undercarriage. ■ Duraply sides and treated plywood deck with lifetime warranty.
