Ohio State University rural economics department study finds shipping eggs from Ohio to New York City is most profitable in March through June. The margin favors New York in March by 6 cents, with larger gaps in spring, while October to December show smaller differences. Ohio’s lower fall-winter production and industrial population drive spring profits.

Size of apples and leaf surface impact on fruit size
A study by H Howlett at Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station shows that reducing spur leaf surface between the first undeveloped flowers and the June drop may not affect the crop, but leaf surface after the June drop is crucial for large fruit. Thinning emerges as the key practice to increase size by managing leaf area and available nutrients.

Fungi Cause Smuts in Wheat and Oats
J D Sayre of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station warns that smuts in wheat and oats arise from fungi on or inside seed. They start growing at germination and infect the young plant, producing black spore masses where kernels should be as heads appear. Planting disease free seed or treating seed before planting can largely prevent the damage.

Farmers urged to barn cows during heat for milk yield
Oregon reports a cost survey of commercial egg production. The advice urges dairymen to keep cows inside during hot days, ensure ample water, reduce flies, and adjust grain to daily yield to sustain peak production. University research shows pasture alone often fails to feed cows in summer, making barn housing and cooling a profitable investment.

Go As Far As Rockies for Hay
Ohio State University must import hay from Colorado due to excessive rainfall in its region. The mineral content that gives hay its value as fodder has been washed out, forcing the university to source hay west of the Rockies. About 16 to 17 thousand tons are consumed annually.
