Plan now to exhibit wheat
With harvest getting under way,
the time to collect wheat for a sheaf,
or to save a bushel ol harvested
grain for a county fair exhibit is
here, says Birdine Tullis, Oregon
State University Program Assistant
with the Morrow County Extension
i Mice
Preparation ol a wheat sheaf
starts with collecting wheat at the
dough stage, just before the kernel
hardens II wheat ts past this stage,
it may still be collected, but kernes
will be more apt to shatter out
Stalks should be cul al ground level
and stored loosely until preparing
the sheaf Inslructions (or a wheat
shea I are available at the Morrow
County Extension Office
After entry at the Morrow County
Fair, many of the wheat exhibits are
taken on to the State Fair Specifi
cations lor Ihe state lair require the
shea! lo be al least three inches in
diameter at the butt end Number of
heads or stalks ol wheal needed
vary, so pick a nice amounl while
you are in the field, continues Tullis
Harvested grain may be brought
to the lairgrounds as it comes from
the combine
Bill Rawlins, Ag
Superintendent will clean Ihe grains
if they are delivered prior lo fair
dales
Awards are offered for the agri
cultural exhibits, as well as pre
miums In addition, a good repre
sentation of agricultural exhibits,
enhances the (air since agriculture
is the major industry ol the county,
