Weevil Invasion Hits Tazewell County Alfalfa
The alfalfa weevil has invaded all sections of Tazewell county cutting yields. Green larvae skeletonize leaves and delay hay harvests, with potential stand loss in severe infestations. Treatments include Methoxychlor or Malathion with 90 gallons per acre. Apply when feeding begins and wait seven days after final spray before harvest.

Storage space inventory urged for Virginia grain harvest
ASC county chairman James C. St Clair urges farmers to inventory farm storage space now for wheat corn and soybeans. Loans cover up to 80 percent of storage facility costs with four year repayment at 4 percent interest. Properly stored grain and conditioning reduce mold and extend keeping quality through mid April for late harvests.

Relative costs vary, but nutritionally rich forage in pasture, hay, silage and seeds remains the lowest cost feed option under most conditions. Quality outranks quantity and variety in feeding value and productivity.
