If the best of this grain was set aside for seed at threshing time or taken from the grain bins before any of it was fed or sold, there would be less work of seed preparation in the spring and a foundation provided tor better seed than is often sown. Small, shrunken or broken seed has a feeding value nearly equal to that of large plump seed.
