Honey Bees Favor Nectar Over Pollen in Alfalfa Pollination
Entomologist John Medler of the University of Wisconsin and T R Chamberlin of the U S Department of Agriculture report honey bees largely skip pollen. In trials last year no bees collected pollen and the prior year only one in twenty did. They warn multiple bee kinds are needed to ensure adequate pollination, as wild bees pollinated the first alfalfa crop.

Advised To Keep Bargains In Wisconsin Corn Market
Elmer Peterson of the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture warns buyers to honor sweet corn contracts as the state anticipates a competitive market before harvest. He notes some buyers bid above contract terms, risking breach actions and potential unfair trade claims. Peterson stresses contract fidelity protects growers' future markets amid cannery interest and notes some canners grow their own corn. Contract growers provide steady annual outlets at stable prices, unlike buyers who enter market mainly when supply is tight or prices rise.

Sowing Fall Legumes Is Termed A Risk
Wisconsin crops expert Vie Burcalow warns late August sowings of legumes like alfalfa and clover have poor winter survivability. Even with ideal weather, first-year hay yields would be weak and late. Spring seedings offer better chances for a productive hay crop amid possible fall insect damage and variable winter conditions. About 60 percent of Wisconsin dairy farmers are willing to cooperate on sound dairy quality.
