A devotional juxtaposes Luke 6 woes with the Beatitudes, noting modern readers identify more with prosperity than poverty. It discusses middle class affluence, hunger, and rejection, then shifts to fall farm tips on soil testing and frost precautions for livestock and crops.
Frost can cause bloating in stock if grazed. Prepare cribs to store old and new corn separately to avoid insect damage and rodent problems. High moisture corn offers palatability and reduced drying costs but needs proper moisture levels and storage sites. Today events include the Southeastern Penn show at Ludwig's Corner and the 4-H district show in Lancaster.

Farmers nationwide can call 800-424-9881 between noon and 4 p.m. on October 4 to share views on the farm economy with national and regional media through the Agriculture Council of America. The program promises free access and stresses low grain prices as a key concern.
A reader argues unfair prices push farmers to sell land for non agricultural use. He says higher farm earnings would curb cheap food driven consumer spending and notes collective bargaining and group action as remedies to raise crop prices.
