It also suggests dusting mixtures with lime or hydrated lime for beetle control and applying when leaves are dew-wet.
Pasturing Sweet Clover to Prevent Woodiness
Nebraska Agricultural College agronomists advise pasturing sweet clover to keep it nine to ten inches high for tender regrowth. If stock is scarce, mow high enough to leave eight inches of stubble for new shoots. Unlike alfalfa, it does not regrow from the crown after significant second-year growth.

Refilling Small Silos With Shocked Corn Method
Farmers with limited silo capacity can extend feed by cutting and shocking corn, then refilling as silage levels drop. This method yields better feed than fresh shocked corn but not as good as properly aged silage. Placing new silage on old is fine if the surface has no mold.

Anti-Barberry Plans Expanded Across Western States
The United States Department of Agriculture reports over 300 field men added July 2 to the farm to farm survey tackling common barberry bushes. The effort aims to complete the eight western states west of the Mississippi this year, with resurvey and chemical treatment of regrown bushes ongoing. Salt appears effective, with 598 bushes treated and only two not fully killed on a subsequent check. East of the Mississippi, surveys will progress but may take two years to finish the original scope. Additional resurveys will target escaped bushes, sprouts, and seedlings in already completed areas.
