Among the cereal grains, winter rye has one of the fastest growth rates, quickly moving from the vegetative stage to stem elongation and head emergence in the blink of an eye. That impressive growth rate makes winter rye difficult to manage if the goal is to harvest for high-quality forage, said James Rogers, North Dakota State University-Extension forage-crops production specialist.

Over 50 years ago, while the general public’s attention was riveted on the space race, agriculture was fixated on a horsepower marathon. Farmers, hungry for larger tractors, not only demanded bigger engines but also yearned for related technological advances in transmissions and hydraulics as well as creature comforts such as quieter air-conditioned cabs.

Year after year, more than 75 percent of Pakistan’s exports are found to be based on agriculture. Pakistan’s export mix has lamentably remained the same for more than a couple of decades. Textiles have dominated, followed by rice, fruits, leather goods, etc. For every extra dollar of cotton produced at the farm gate, there is at least three dollars and fifty cents of textile products exported by Pakistan. This multiplier is even higher for shirts, t-shirts, socks, etc., compared to bed linen and towels.
