Seed Saving Advice for Farmers in Arkansas
County agent Oliver L Adams urges farmers to save seeds amid rising dairy and poultry demand. Weevils threaten peas and beans stored in Arkansas, with losses up to 40 percent unless precautions are taken. Use barrels or drums with dry dust layers to store seed and prevent heating, fumigate food seed with carbon disulphide in sealed drums, and isolate treated bins. Soybeans face fewer pests and require little treatment, Horsfall notes.
