Wheat crop one of best ever
M orrow
County
G rain
Growers has a problem -too
much wheat.
"W e have 1.5 million bushels
of grain in piles at the river and
at the North Lexington elevator,”
noted John Ripple, o f MCGG.
“ This is certainly one of the
best crops in recent years and for
some growers, the best crop
ever,” he added.
Grain quality has been good
with test weights of wheat ex
ceeding 58 lbs. and protein levels
generally low. Steptoe barley test
weights were mostly in the 48 lb.
area.
“ Along with the good 1993
crop has been a recent fall in price
to around $3.40 (Portland price)
per bushel for soft white wheat.
A fairly large inventory of soft
white wheat will likely hinder the
market.” suspects Ripple.
“ Reports of disease have been
noted throughout the Columbia
Plateau in recent weeks.
Straw breaker footrot and
Cephalosporium stripe seem to be
most common,” noted Mor-
mw/Gilliam area crops agent Phil
Nesse. Nesse went on to say
“ disease problems have been
especially a problem in the upper
elevations. Stephens winter wheat
has been most affected, primari
ly by strawbreaker footrot.
Strawbreaker causes incomplete
filling of wheat heads and lodg
ing of the grain.”
Cephalosporium stripe has
been a bigger problem in the
western part of the Columbia
Plateau. W e’ve seen some
Cephalosporium in some of the
heavier
soils,
how ever.
Cephalosporium can cause severe
yield loss and will require a three
year rotation out of winter wheat
where it is an extreme problem.
Most fields were able to take
advantage of the wet, cool
w eather,” concluded Nesse.
“ Hopefully we’ve seen the end
of the recent drought and we’ve
entered a normal weather cycle.”
