Durand Co-ops Pioneer Oat-Pea Seed for Forage Use

Durand Cooperatives began supplying oat-pea seed mixtures to Cenex-Land O Lakes outlets after a 1980 seed hunt. About 75 area farmers grow the mix for dairy forage, with most using it as summer feed for milk herds, heifers, or dry cows. The blend yields 3 to 6 tons per acre and costs about $22.80 per acre, with most seed sourced from Canada to date.

Armyworms invade western no-till corn fields in Wisconsin and Minnesota

Armyworms have invaded no-till corn fields in western Wisconsin and eastern Minnesota with the heaviest damage in Buffalo County and reports in Dunn County and the Duluth area. Farmers say moths lay eggs on live grass before it dies, larvae move to corn, and rapid feeding can cause heavy damage within a week. Experts advise scouting early and treating when one worm per plant appears on a large portion of fields, noting several chemical options and that worms do not winter in Wisconsin.
