Alfalfa tops Wisconsin profits with proper management
UW Extension agronomist Dwayne Rohweder says alfalfa can be worth up to 350 dollars per acre with careful management, aiming for three-year stands and four or more cuts per year, aided by phosphorus, lime, and soil testing. Agronomist Bryan Black and dairy nutritionist Terry Howard stress tissue analysis, nutrient balance, and quality forage testing to maximize milk production and economic return.

Corn loan program not yet lifting market prices
Agriculture Department economists say while farmers increased 1985 corn under loan this fall, it is far from enough to raise prices. They note potential for more loan activity, with 3 billion bushels or more likely to push prices higher through spring 1986.
