Marathon County corn yields good at test plot
Marathon farmers attended a briefing by Marathon County ag agent Leo Martin and Marshfield Experiment Station head Tom Drendel about corn growing in the county and selecting hybrids. They noted no till increases yields, 90 day corn matures faster, and cold tolerance is key for early planting. Roger and Vern Ross described their no till program across 250 acres, using an International 800 planter and varying tillage practices. Laura Sternweis

Social Security and CSA rules for federal workers
Federal workers like me face changes aimed at narrowing windfall Social Security gains for CSA retirees. The 1981 1983 amendments removed minimum benefits, added a Medicare funding contribution, and introduced a special lower formula for those with pensions from work not covered by Social Security, with several exceptions for certain groups.
