Cereals For Forage Production At Point MacKenzie

Abstract

Research history on the soils in the Point MacKenzie project area is limited when compared to many other agricultural areas in Alaska. However, four years of soil fertility and forage production data has been compiled. The basis for information included here is research carried out on the research tract at Point MacKenzie by the staff at the Palmer Research Center. This information coupled with many years of breeding and crop selection data from the nearby Matanuska Valley, make preliminary recommendations possible.
