Farmers Weigh In On Corn Crop And Orchard Prospects
Agricultural notes discuss harvesting corn for silo, delaying harvest to avoid frost, and shredding for cattle feed as an economy. Apples for export in limited high quality lots with proper wrapping and box packing are advised, plus forest tree planting as a national need. A vast Oklahoma farm is described, with large wheat rotations and cattle herds. Potato rot research suggests delaying digging when rot risk exists. Vermont farms show thriving country homes, increasing farm property values, and strong orchard prospects. Poultry care covers lice control, varied feed, ventilation, and lime for shells. Farm notes urge manure this fall for next spring plantings and practical tips on fencing, grape packing, and butter quality.
