Good Records for Tax Time on Farm Operations
Farmers should keep regular accurate records of all small expenses and retain receipts and cancelled checks for five years. Track deductions such as farm organization dues, subscriptions, interest, bank fees, business trips, depreciation on home office and machinery, and inventory of stock kept for breeding or work. The Farmers Tax Guide from IRS and Extension Service aids in preparing returns.

Vitamin A Shortage in Cattle After Dry Fall
A dry fall raises the risk of Vitamin A deficiency in cattle. Calves may be weak at birth or night blind if supplements are neglected. For a 1000 pound cow the need is 30 000 units daily or 55 milligrams carotene with alfalfa hay 3 5 pounds or non legume hay 5 6 pounds as options.
Safety belt may help solve tractor risks
Experiments show a safety roll-over arch and belt reduce injuries in tractor upsets. Developed by the University of California with an insurance firm and an implement company, the device overwrites the driver with a tubular steel framework and rear axle belt anchor. Field tests indicate minor damage and reduced danger with sideways and backwards upsets.
