We
are working to tie up all the loose ends related to the Dryland Grain
Demonstration. Repairs are complete on Steve Heckeroth's scratch built electric
tractor, ET-7. We are excited to use it once we finalize the details related to
land acquisition. If you want to know more about the basic parameters of
small grain production I encourage you to read The Small Grain Production
Manual produced by UC Davis.

The
Small Grain Production Manual presents essential information on producing
wheat, barley, oat, triticale, and rye, from growth and development through
seedbed preparation, fertilization, and irrigation, to pest management, crop
rotation, cover cropping, and harvesting and storage. It also includes an
overview of small grain production in California
as well as a trouble shooting guide.

The
Manual is available for free download from http://anrcatalog.ucdavis.edu.
