Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of the Fourth Southern Pasture and Forage Crop Improvement Conference: April 22-25, 1947, Florida Agricultural Experiment Station, Quiney and Gainesville, Florida
Bill Womack of Ashford, Alabama, a large grower of lupines, discussed his method of harvesting and handling lupine seed. The crop is harvested with a combine. The seed is then screened to separate large high-moisture content seed from the drier seed. The large seed amounts to about 5 per cent. All the seed is then dried with artificial heat, using a column type drier. Mr. Womack - con31ders artificial drying of the seed essential.
Stuart Simpson of Monticello, Florida, another large grower and seed dealer, stated that he dries all his lupine seed down to 10 percent moisture. 'when thus dried, he has had no difficulty in keeping the seed through the first season. He first used a baffle type drier but now uses a table type drier, drying the seed in sacks. Mr. Simpson considers arti ficial drying essential, and, according to his experience, seed dried to 10 percent will retain viability for the first year with good storage.
