Farming notes on dairy, lime, lambs and wheat prospects
Agricultural tips discuss Clare Michigan dairy milk production, per capita consumption, and U.S. demand. Advice covers lime application for alfalfa, lamb feeding economics, pen space and trough size, and fertilizer nitrogen timing for winter wheat with notes on ammonium nitrate and urea.
Let Alfalfa Rest In Fall
Michigan Experiment Station advises a rest period for alfalfa to improve next year’s yield. Rest typically September in Michigan, but Northern Michigan farmers are told to extend rest from August 15 to September 15 or 26. Do not graze or cut during rest to protect the next season’s crop.
