How Much Corn Is Left In The Field Estimates
County farmers are shown a yardstick method to estimate corn losses at harvest. One ear per 43 steps in a row equals about one bushel per acre. 20 kernels in 312 feet equals one bushel lost in shelling. Adjust pickers to minimize loss, and follow safety rules for corn pickers while guarding against accidents. Also advised are treatments for small grains to curb loose smut and timing for wheat planting to avoid Hessian fly damage. Obituaries and social notes conclude with local community events and gatherings.
Treat Seed Now For Smut Disease
Dr. L O Weaver Maryland University Extension Plant Pathologist urges seed treatment to prevent smut and other fungal diseases. Treat seeds 24 hours before planting, up to two months ahead, using approved fungicides such as Ceresan M Panogen or Setrete. Untreated seed can be treated at home with debris removed and follow manufacturer directions.
