Summary

Not available – first paragraph follows:

Durum wheat, an important crop in northern California's Tulelake Basin since 1953, is planted in the spring in fertile, irrigated soil. The varieties used (developed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and North Dakota State University) usually produce an average of 3,600 pounds per acre with good semolina quality. However, these varieties are susceptible to lodging, because they grow too tall in irrigated, highly fertile soil.
