Farm Report Highlights Crop Practices and Livestock Costs
North Carolina State University reports that plowing corn residue destroys about 92 percent of blight spores when buried, with partial survival just above ground. The study ties December research to the 1970 blight epidemic and notes stalk cutting as nearly as effective as plowing. Separate notes discuss egg product inspections, dairy feed economics, roundworms in feeder pigs, coastal bermuda nitrogen rates, and pecan graft care with thinning to protect new grafts.

Formic Acid Silage Still Experimental
Virginia farmers ask about adding formic acid to unwilted high moisture silage to improve quality. Virginia Tech agronomy associate professor Harlan E. White notes studies show unwilted silage can compare to wilted, but formic acid is not yet recommended and FDA clearance is lacking. He cites costs, corrosive vapor, and silage seepage as concerns, suggesting alternatives like beet or citrus pulp to boost fermentation and moisture absorption.

The U S Department of Agriculture announces a July 1 effective date for a change in the U S Grade AA egg tolerance. The new rule maintains lower quality egg limits at 19 percent origin and 2 percent destination. The combined tolerance for quality and checks remains 5 percent.
