Agricultural engineers at the University of Minnesota developed a hydrostatic pressure test to measure water permeability in concrete drain tile. P. W. Manson and D. G. Miller led the effort, sealing tile ends and forcing water at 20 psi to detect leaks within five minutes, aiding performance in acid and alkali soils.
Density increases in concrete tile extend life in alkali soils by tenfold or more. Sulfate resistant cement enhances durability without raising tile cost.
Urbana Ill Plans show flexible farm machinery storage to fit each farm. Extension engineer tives suggest calculating square footage per machine, then total area, with 28 to 32 foot wide side opening sheds and 36 to 40 foot wide drive through sheds.
The first national type conference of the Yorkshire registry association will be held March 8 and 9 at Jacksonville. The type discussion will be held Friday afternoon and evening. Barrows in the type classes will be slaughtered and the carcasses will be on display Saturday.
University of Missouri soil expert H H Krusekopf notes three years of drought reduced erosion but warns that rare heavy rains can cause severe losses. Dry, granular soils absorb water and infiltrate quickly when not cultivated deeply, yet erosion increases with high intensity downpours.
Purdue economists R H Bauman and A M Nichter advise farmers to consider transferring farm property by will to keep the farm in the family. A well drafted will can allow the operating son to buy out other heirs, keeping the farm unit intact and reducing estate taxes while avoiding guardianships for minor heirs. Potential downsides include financial burden on heirs and the risk of the will being broken if not properly prepared.
Nichter urges individuals considering a will to seek professional legal help. The advice stresses that this important task benefits from expert guidance to ensure the document reflects protections and wishes accurately.
Sudan grass can be grazed when it reaches about 18 inches. Grazing down to 6 to 10 inches is recommended, then remove livestock to allow regrowth to around 19 inches before the next grazing. Farmers with Sudan grass experience provide these timing guidelines.
