Ventilate Henhouses With Insulation For Winter Comfort
Extension poultryman J M Moore of Michigan State explains moisture from 100 hens reaches about 22 percent in a day, risking damp litter and dirty eggs. Insulation raises inside temps so air holds moisture. ventilation then removes it without drafts. For up to 500 birds an A shaped house with three feet of straw aids natural ventilation via louvers. for over 500, electric exhaust fans near ceilings with thermostatic control provide best ventilation.

Soil Sample Requests Increase at Farm Bureau Service
The Soil Testing Laboratory at Farm Bureau Services sees more soil samples submitted, urging farmers to obtain results now rather than wait for spring. Official testing determines lime needs for agricultural plans, with about 75 percent of fields needing lime or marl. Where needed, lime is the first step in soil improvement. unused areas risk inefficiency and unnecessary costs. Farmers are encouraged to submit more samples this fall or winter and order fertilizer in advance.

Resting phase helps house plants through fall and winter
P D Gibson and Henry L Chapman advise house plants enter a natural resting stage in fall. Resting does not kill plants but slows growth and can affect next summer bloom. Cut fertilizer, water sparingly, and provide humidity by placing pots on a gravel tray kept moist to protect plants indoors.
