Long grass does not help lawn overwintering
Long dead grass offers little protection for winter and becomes a nuisance in spring. Maintain 3 inches before cutting to 2 inches, leaving clippings to decompose as natural fertilizer. Fertilize late October to early November when days are short and cold so growth remains limited, yielding a green lawn through mid June. Keith Sommerfeld, Dunn County ag agent.
Milk in fields: high moisture ear corn equals shell corn for cows
A USDA Beltsville study shows high moisture ear corn delivers comparable digestible energy, metabolizable energy, and net energy to high moisture shell corn for milking cows. Moisture in the cob may boost value by aiding lignin breakdown, making HMEC and HMSC superior to dry ears and shells. Jim Faust notes potential $250 to $300 lost per field.

Family Book memory shows a strict moral home life

It shaped manners, rules about quarrels and kissing, and social calls, while a hidden anatomy illustration caused curiosity and secrecy among children. The tale ends with a wish to possess the book.
