Crop Rotation Kills Many Insect Pests
The article explains how crop rotation reduces insect injury by disrupting wintering and food sources. It notes that pests like the Hes sian fly and others impose heavy tolls on farms, with 200 insect attackers on clover and 400 on apples. Rotating crops helps fewer insects find food, while staying with the same crop increases damage each year.
Minerals for Cow Use in Dairy Rations
The dairy cow's most needed minerals are calcium phosphorus and common salt. Legume days on lime-sufficient soils usually supply calcium. Phosphorus can come from the drain ration containing up to 20 percent phosphorus rich foods like wheat bran or cottonseed meal. Salt should be provided at one pound per 100 pounds of grain mix and animals should have free access to it in pasture or exercise yard.
