“Last season we had our first, and we hope, our last encounter with part of a grubber,” Mr A. Fowley, of D.Y.C., Ltd, told a seminar on peppermint at Lincoln College this week when referring to the harvesting of the crop. , ••While making a spectacular display, it damaged the forage harvester and came close to causing injury as well” he said. Stones were a major problem when a forage harvester was a key part of the harvesting operation, he had just related. In future they would be avoiding stoney paddocks wherever possible, or taking precautions against stone problems, he said. The meeting was told that for high sustained productivity the crop needed a reasonably freedraining soil but of good-water-holding capacity.
