The first part of Certified Seed Is Still Best Buy ( This message brought to you s a public service, through the courtesy of the Hensall District Co-operative.) Ten cents per bushel and you can be sure of what you sow... which is one of the least expensive guarantees a farmer can buy these days. The 10 cents a bushel is the average difference in cost be- tween treated certified cereal grain seed, and ordinary treated and cleaned seed. Certification guarantees you get the variety of cereal grain you want when you buy seed. Farming is enough of a gamble without you ignoring this oppor- tunity for better crops. A lot of costs go into preparing and planting a field, and a lot of uncertainties lie between seeding day and harvest. One of the smallest cost items is the actual seed, yet for the sake of saving a few cents an acre you tisk los- ing a substantial amount of yield. And that is the profit share. The cost of preparing, sowing and harvesting will be about the same regardless of yield. You take the profit off the top if you aim for less than maximum yield. For the best crops, you need a good even stand of healthy plants, and you must be sure that it is a variety suited to the location. Tests have proven beyond doubt that some varieties have more resistance than others to such things as rust. Tests also have proven conclusively that some varieties have significantly great- er yield potential than others. It makes good sense to be sure that you plant what you want. It all makes a case for certi- fied seed. Here are some other considerations re quality of certi- fied seed that you shouldn't ignore: (1) germination is high (2) weed seed content is low and must be within certain tolerances (3) the seed comes from crops that have a low incidence of disease (4) the variety in the bag is guaranteed to be the variety named on the bag tag. And you know that the crop will have the characteristics of the variety. It can be summed' up by the -'.
