Crop Profiles #4

Product Description

If you’re looking for new cropping ideas to improve the profitability of your farm, this DVD/Video features a number of different crops that could meet your needs.  Crops featured include a relatively new high yield wheat variety with sawfly tolerance, a heritage wheat variety originated back in the 1840’s that sells for up to $1 per pound when grown organically and produces a low gluten flower, a hardy and versatile winter triticale that can be sold into markets ranging from milling to pasture or feed grain utilization, and some cutting edge research into fall seeded pulse crops that can produce yields up to double of spring seeded yields.  This video profiles a couple of different types of millet that can produce high yields of good quality livestock feed when matched with the appropriate growing conditions. Also featured are various fruit crops including a prairie bred cherry variety with the hardiness to flourish in the unique prairie climate, apples that are thriving on a prairie orchard with the necessary intensive management, and the lesser known Haskap fruit which has plenty of anti-oxidants and disease fighting properties along with a strong overseas market.
