Extension vegetable specialist James Dutt of Pennsylvania State University told Lancaster County Farmers at a pest control meeting that direct seeding, using a corn planter, could revolutionize tomato growing as weed control improves with new herbicides Solan and Tillam. He cited last year’s tests yielding 25 tons per acre and noted soil health concerns from overworking land.

Dwight Younkin spoke at the Lancaster County Swine Producers Association banquet noting a fair year ahead and urging use of half brothers of herd sires to improve uniformity, and managers of barrow shows to consider educing castrates as measure of breeding progress toward meat-type pork.
