management is always evident
by the straight rows of almost
weed-free crops, with only
water as a limiting factor to
yields,” Swiger said.
The dean also observed that
the type of research happen
ing on 60 acres is one way that
producers can learn the im
pact of changing a number of
practices on crop yields over a
number of years.
“It is interesting to note
that two of the cropping sys
tems are continuous no-till, a
practice that is gaining acre
age in eastern Virginia,” he
said.
Swiger noted the grain dry
ing and storage facilities at
Camden. “Mr. Davis is using
these grain facilities to market
bread wheat to mills in Virgin
ia.”

Eric Randolph, president of
the Virginia Com Growers
Association, offered encourag
ing words. “Sometimes it is
difficult to be upbeat about
farming in years like this.
Each of us is doing battle with
the heat and the drought and
it often seems that we are on
the losing side. Events like this
one give us an opportunity to
think beyond this season as we
view the exciting knowledge
and innovation that are com
ing our way.”
