Acton Free Wednesday Aug 161979 3 Above normal hay crop abundant winter wheat in Halton Rep by J waller Hay crops In Halton have never been bo good according to Henry Stanley Repres entative for Halton He says he cant remember better yields Weve had excellent hay crops away above normal Some farmers got their crops off without rain at all if they started early enough Winter wheat Is now being harvested across be county and Mr Stanley Bays the crop Is above normal Very good yields above some yields are as high bushels per acre The present rainy spell Is a godsend for the corn but is hampering wheat harvesting in those fields still unthreshed The wheat is beginning to sprout says Stanley and farmers are racing to get It off as soon as possible However the rain Is going to improve patchy corn crops This year has been much like last year although not quite so dry The tote cool spring made planting difficult affecting crop yields now Early planted corn has been tall enough to with stand the dry weather in July while late plantings have suffered and arent even tassled out yet in dicating the start of com cob production Corn is very variable according to the Ag Hep and some fanners are wishing tbey planted spring grain instead He went on to explain the second crop of hay looked good some area farmers in Milton have started a third crop pastures are recovering from the dry spell and spring grain oats usually is doing well insect infestation seems to be at a minimum this year Stanley says He hasnt heard of any army worms in and the alfalfa weevil a menace a few years ago has done little damage A certain kind of wasp which fed on weevil larva was introduced recently In attempts to control the devaating little pest whose larva strip the leaves alfalfa plants Its too early to tell if were are positive results yet says Stanley but Frank An thony custom farmer harvesting thousands of acres feels the pest control is doing some good Anthony also describes the hay crop as ex and the wheat crop as belter than expected Spring grain Is lighter than usual Just average he said due to dry July The com crop a little bit behind but will be 100 percent better with this rain according to Anthony Pat another custom farmer from Acton describes the corn as funny some early corn is doing well while late crop is poor If August is wet wc should have a good crop He feels crops in general are not too bad but farmers with soybeans planted arc out of luck With the recent dryness the crop is only a foot high and some farmers mlghtnt even bother com it Acri says ST JOHN FIRST of
