The Extension Agent has had
many inquiries regarding a news
item on seed ..rain: published in
a recent issue of the Valley
Settlor.
When it is indicated that wheat
which has a germination test of
97® will be bought at '<4.00 cv;t.,
that does not moan that if your
wheat tests 90 fo it will not be
purchased. The warehouse employees
inform us that 97;.? wheat is worth
A.GO and they use thorn figures
as a basis for determining the
price to be pni ' for seed grain
testing less than 97fi. For in
stance, if your -whoat tested SO/b,
you v/ould receive ->96 of ^4*00,
or, multipy the percent germina
tion of your seed wheat by .,,>4.00
and divide the results by 97, 90;'i
wheat should bring /3.71. The
some applies to other seed grains
as were listed.
