Mills County farmers are advised by LaVerne Obrecht and L E Everson to avoid planting seed held over from 1961. Only 1962 harvested seed should be planted this spring as older seed risks low vigor, disease, and poor stands. Sell held-over seed for processing and buy high quality 1962 seed for planting.
