Freezing Advances with Liquid Nitrogen Method
Cryogenic freezing at minus 320 degrees F using liquid nitrogen is praised as finally maturing. Tomatoes and mushrooms avoid mushiness and moisture loss that come with traditional methods, freezing in six minutes with no quality degradation. Thawed products retain color flavor and texture like fresh, staying good for six months at minus 20 F or below.

Space Needs for Turning in Row Crop Operations
Studies in Alabama show turning tractors harvesters and combines can consume about 25 percent of field time unless ample turning space is provided. A wide semi circle reduces turning time. narrow spaces with backing raise time up to 50 percent. Ditches and rough terrain further increase time by 11 to 29 percent. Redesigning terraces to run parallel cuts farming time by about one third. smooth fields and good turning areas boost efficiency.

Dan Pherigo Wilson county farm agent recommends calcium chloride as the best ice remover for steps sidewalks and driveways. It may slightly damage adjacent grass if used in large amounts but minimally damages good concrete. Ammonium nitrate fertilizers melt ice but degrade concrete and the Portland Cement Assn warns against their use for this purpose.

Agent Gives Oats Review
Neosho County Farm Agent Fred DeLano reports Kansas State University tests showing 205 oat varieties having comparable resistance to red leaf virus. Oat yields rose by about seven bushels per acre with two varieties, tested across Powhattan Bellville and Manhattan stations. Seed should be cleaned of small kernels and straw. treating seed with Panogen Ceresan Chipote or Ortho LM boosts yields by about three bushels per acre. Adequate phosphate in soil helps earlier maturation and rust avoidance.
