Farmsteads Deserve Spring Cleaning Urges Harrisburg

He warns that wire, trash and rubbish hidden by weeds cause slips and punctures, and notes that spring slack days are ideal for housekeeping as winter winds leave tinder-dry trash.

County Agents Warn on Alfalfa Picks and Farm Safety
County Agent Max Smith cautions farmers to distinguish certified wilt resistant alfalfa varieties like Vernal from commercial brands. Maynard Coe of the National Safety Council says education cuts farm injuries, with one in six to be disabled yearly and costs around 40 million dollars plus 20 million man-days lost. Exports of US coarse grains rise, and farm safety tips urge removing debris, securing chemicals, inspecting wiring, and storing tools to reduce hazards.
