Senators Push Farm Bill Changes Proposed by Boren
The Senate Agriculture Committee backed three amendments offered by Sen. David Boren Oklahoma. Amendments require FmHA to decide loan applications within 90 days and inform applicants of incompleteness within 20 days, plus provide reasons for disapproval and disburse funds within 15 days of approval unless a longer wait is agreed. Second amendment allows loan payments from mineral rights proceeds, excluding foreclosed or liquidating cases. Third allows borrowers to transfer accounts to adjacent county FmHA offices to improve assistance.

Crop pests expected early this year warns UW entomologist
A UW Madison entomologist warns that potato leafhoppers, corn rootworms and armyworms may be 10 days to two weeks ahead of normal this year. Farmers should scout in fields using an insect sweep net rather than casual observations to avoid unseen damage. Leafhoppers begin alfalfa injury in mid July, earning the label subtle yield robbers.
