LSU AgCenter personnel at the Dean Lee Research Station in Alexandria are studying raised-bed planting of a double crop of wheat and soybeans. During this first year for the demonstration, the wheat yielded 55 bushels per acre. The soybeans, which were planted May 29, 2008, had not been harvested at press time.
