This wheat is in good condition though at the time the picture was taken, rain was needed for further growth. In June 1952, Fischer harvested 22 bushels of wheat per acre despite the drought. He left the stubble 8 to 12 inches tall. In the first week in July, he worked the field with a sub-surface plow with blades or shovels as set from 3.5 to 4 inches deep, leaving residue in the surface.
