Class 140. Field Crops and Grains

All grain exhibits must be one quart samples, exhibited in a one quart zip lock bag or clear container. Samples must be from the current cropping year.

Grain and Forage Bundles To make grain, grass and millet sheaves: Select uniform high quality plants, Spread the grain plants out in a sheltered area and allow to dry for one day. Strip off all leaves, taking care not to break the straw in handling. Form a core of 30 to 40 stems, then place the other stems around the core to form a sheaf 7-9 inches in circumference (around) at a point half way between the heads and the butt. Tie the bundle firmly in three places. Use cord which will not cut the straw. Form the crown (heads) in a rounded shape by moving the core up and down. Cut off the butt squarely and hand-tie the sheaf with the heads down until exhibited.

Section 1. Wheat sheaf a. Durum b. Spring c. Winter 2. Barley 3. Oats 4. Flax 5. Rye 6. Millet 7. Any other seed To make a forage sheaf: Select the leafiest types to be found in the field and cut close to the ground. Do not strip a single leaf or branch from the stem as forage should retain its color and leaves. In make up a show bundle, select those individual stems that have retained the most and best leaves with their color. Make bundles from 3 to 5 inches in diameter (across) or 9.5 to 11 inches in circumference (around) tied securely once at a point 1/3 from the base and tied a second time loosely once about half way up to prevent spreading. Corn, Sudan, Sorghum, and Milletsheaves should be tied three times at uniform spacings.
