Heavy May and June rains in Michigan shift farming to quick emergency crops with buckwheat as the preferred cash option. H. C. Rather of Michigan State College notes yields commonly 20 to 25 bushels per acre, prices above 75 cents, and that seeding favors late June to early July with 10 to 12 weeks to maturity. Buckwheat adapts to poorer soils, provides pancake flour and groats, and offers by products for feed and weed suppression.
Farmers who did not secure spring fertilizer from the A A A may apply soon after the first alfalfa cutting. Apply 250 to 300 pounds per acre with any spreader, then drag to mix and avoid burn. Alfalfa yields high nitrogen from air but needs phosphorus, potash and lime replenished in soil.
Farmers should boost alfalfa yields with potash and phosphorus, especially 0-20-0 and 0-20-20. Early spring applications suit rainfall patterns, while established stands respond after first cuttings. About forty percent of potash and phosphorus is used in year one, with remaining uptake over the next two years.
