Strategies for crops at Arlington agronomy session
Arlington last week hosted the 1985 Aronomy Field Day with demonstrations on soybeans wheat corn and alfalfa. Dr. Carter and Arnie Imholt studied late emergers or peepers in corn noting stunted growth in small gaps and healthy yields in large gaps while Rohweder advised silage optimized by hybrid choice population timing and harvest moisture. The event highlighted weed control no tillage and disease resistance with expertise from ICM wheat practices and a $1000 NFC scholarship contest announced by Lydia Passow.

Obey seeks national suspension of aldicarb use
Representative David Obey asked the EPA to halt aldicarb nationwide pending further safety studies. He cited University of Wisconsin findings suggesting immune system weakening at very low levels, arguing for a national ban to protect public health and prevent competitive disparities for farmers. Aldicarb, from Union Carbide, is widely used on central Wisconsin potatoes.
