Agricultural Week Reflects Weather Driven Activity and Pests
Farmers report hay making soybean planting corn and bean cultivation spraying and wheat harvesting amid variable weather. Overflow cutworms damage late corn fields on several farms prompting potential control with insecticides. Wheat harvests from Frank Alexander and Roy Pitts lead to a carload move to local elevators with moisture near 14 percent and test weights around 61 pounds. Clarence Heim notes uneven corn on Arthur White’s field whose irregular pattern may stem from nitrogen differences. Hog prices rise to sixteen dollars per hundred while expectations hint at softer markets. Rush County Pig Tour set for July 16.
